The Races

The Rules

1. There is no fee to enroll in the Mid-America Series, although participants must register for each event (individually) as usual.
2. Athletes must participate in a minimum of three events for 2018 to be considered in the Series. This requirement encourages regional travel and multiple race entries. Those events that have agreed to be part of the Series are listed above.

Scoring

Participants are awarded multiplier points or finisher points based on their finish time versus the overall amateur’s finish time. First, the times are converted to minutes (i.e. a time of 2 hrs 15 minutes and 30 seconds would be converted to 135.50 minutes), then the overall winner’s time is divided by each participant’s time, and multiplied by 100. This formula will determine each participant’s base score. Each racer’s six best scores will be counted, along with bonus points for each additional race in the series that is completed.

Scoring Example:

• Racer A won the race overall with a time of 2:10:45 (130.75 min)
• Racer B finished in 6th place with a time of 2:25:30 (145.50 min)
• Racer B’s score: 130.75 / 145.50 X 100 = .89862 base score … or 89.86 points
• 89.86 X (the specific event multiplier) = Final Series Score
• Bonus Points will be added to the final race score
