Club 10's 2014. Important and exciting news, please read!
Ok, so the 10's will start on 7th May. Usual time and place, first rider off at 7.00. 30 places available, first come first served. £3 for club members, £4 for non members.
Firstly the boring bit .as ever we need people to run the races, preferably 2 timekeepers and a pusher offer. Remember, if there is only one timekeeper they will have to close the event at 22 riders so they can get to the finish in time. If there are no timekeepers the event will be cancelled. Here is the doodle, please put your name down to help..Club 10 helpers.
Now the exciting bit .James MacKenzie has come up with some ideas to spice up the evening 10s and make winning a trophy accessible to all. The details are below and James ideas should make for a really great 10's season for all.
CC Ashwell Wednesday evening 10 series
The following changes are to be introduced for the club 10 series 2014 season:
3 Existing trophies
Male
Female
Junior
These will continue to be run on a time basis but will be calculated as each riders best 4 times added together instead of just their single best time lowest aggregate wins.
2 New trophies
Vet (male & female combined)
This will also be run on a time basis over riders best 4 times added together but allowing for age-related handicaps in accordance with VTTA standards. Each riders actual time for the week will be subtracted from their standard time to give a + or difference. The highest aggregate Nett difference will produce the winner.
For the 2014 season only those riders born in 1969 or before will be eligible. Each riders standard time will be for age equal to current year minus year-of-birth. E.g a 49 year old whose birthday is on the last day of the year would get a 50 year olds standard time.
VTTA standards can be viewed in tabular form by visiting http://www.vtta.org.uk/information/standardstables.php
Northfield Handicap
This will be a points-based system which will adopt a straightforward formula. Each rider will be given a handicap equal to the difference between their best time from the previous or current season (BEST), and the overall club best time from the previous or current season (SCRATCH). A riders handicap will change if they improve their BEST or any rider improves the SCRATCH. Each week the top 10 after handicap deductions will be awarded points (20,15,12,9,7,5,4,3,2,1). Over the course of each season the rider achieving the highest points total will win.
Each week the best on handicap rider (20 pts) will gain a free entry for the following week.
All competition and trophies eligible to CC Ashwell first-claim members only.

I fully agree with Matt's suggestion about rewarding those kind enough to take a week or two off entering to ensure that this event runs each week.
