Championship Series Rules
	Club members with dues paid up will be automatically included in the Championship Series standings after completing any of the 8 series races in the series. Prepaid entry in the Championship Series is advised for your convenience and that of the race managers, but not required to participate. (i.e. you can pay for them one at a time) Your age group is based on your age as of January 1 and remains the same for the whole Series. Awards will be based on your best standings in 6 of the 8 Championship Series races. *** The number of awards in an age group depends on the number of participants in the age group who have qualified by completing 6 or more races. There will be 3 awards for up to 6 qualifiers, 4 awards for 7or 8 qualifiers, and 5 awards for 9 or more qualifiers. Duplicate awards are given for ties and don't remove later places from the award sequence. If you are excluded from a race, check your membership status to ensure it has not lapsed. Once included in the standings you get a 35 for any missed series race. Runners listed in bold in the standings are potential Ironmen, having done all Series races to date. To allow volunteers the opportunity to run the race directors may organize a Workers Run. Workers Run participants must run the same course as the actual race. Workers Run participants are placed last in their age groups for a race. Per Board decision, Race Directors get credit for doing a Workers Run even if they don't actually run it. The latest results are posted on our Web site: http://annapolisstriders.org Other Notes: The 10K race for the Series is the Father's Day 10K, not the Bay Bridge Run The 10M race for the Series is the Cherry Pit 10 Miler, not the Annapolis 10 Mile Run. To avoid confusion, please use the same name for races that you used to join the club. Thanks!
