Northfield Cup Points to come... (and maybe even an explanation of how they are magically calculated)

Nunnster

Big Thanks to @Redhill Rob for stepping in a the last minute to marshal the Toll Bar. Thanks too to Al Mc for the watch work - hope you warmed up on the ride home, Al! :-)

Ok. Here is the magic part. Pay attention...

The Northfield Handicap is a points-based competition over the 16 competition rides based against a rider’s time vs. their personal best on that course. But you must help out at least twice to qualify. The winning rider on the night receives 21 points, the second 16, then 13, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and the minimum any rider will score for turning out is one point.

The riders tonight had the following PBs on this course, and Times:

Name	PB	Today	+/- from PB
S. Messina	00:22:24	00:23:48	+00:01:24
E. Koppe	00:25:46	00:27:18	+00:01:32
T. Allen	00:24:51	00:26:31	+00:01:40
S. Miles	00:24:42	00:26:24	+00:01:42
S. Orris	00:26:43	00:28:30	+00:01:47
R. Bumstead	00:25:02	00:27:33	+00:02:31

No PBs tonight, but as S. Messina was closest to his PB, he scores top points. Emma was next closest so 2nd place, and so on... Points

S. Messina	21
E. Koppe	16
T. Allen	13
S. Miles	10
S. Orris	8
R. Bumstead	6

And we're up and running for 2022!
Simple really.

(* note, if we make any mistakes in calculations, please message me and I will either explain, or correct. Any errors will be completely accidental)

Have a great season everyone.

Nunnster

Thanks Brendan! Great job! Good to have someone tech savvy doing the calcs for once! 😊

Ah Brendan you've spoiled all the mystery with your excellent explanation and clearly laid out example!

We now need a new, even more dark and mysterious points competition...

AlistairMc

Quick question from me - is the PB you're competing against always the one at the start of the year or does it get updated if you break your PB during the season?

Andy I did warm up a little bit by smashing it home, but toes didn't warm up though

BrendanR

Your PB gets updated as the year goes on. And it is your PB for over the past 3 years. So if you were incredibly quick 5 years ago, but have since got old and slow, you won't be chasing an impossible time.
