OK willing to look like an crazy fool but I don't understand  .
Does it mean that if the first brc runner through comes in at 30mins dead then I come in at 50mins dead then I have about 166% of the first time? My maths is obviously not making much sense in this example but I think I need it explained at the 'crazy fool' level if someone is willing to oblige  ?
Cheers, John. |

Hi John
Didn’t get back earlier, as I wanted to show you a practical example The table below shows the results for the first league race of the year ( Great Bentley ˝ Marathon ) Time C/Champs Surname First Name % Winner’s Race Pace 01:08:15 Male Winning Time 100.000% 01:18:07 M40 Desborough Steve 87.369% 01:18:27 M40 Mead Antony 86.998% 01:23:51 Cohen Steffan 81.395 01:32:05 M40 Turner Terry 74.118 01:34:18 M50 Walker Frith Andrew 72.375 01:34:56 Mickleburgh Trevor 71.893 01:36:05 M40 Moore Graeme 71.032 01:39:23 M50 Mather Godfrey 68.673 01:39:48 Watson Peter 68.387 01:44:40 M40 Skinner James 65.207 01:44:56 Baker Anthony 65.041 01:46:06 M40 Ashley Philip 64.326 01:55:50 M50 Norton Paul 58.921 01:59:03 Hoy Michael 57.329 01:20:10 Female Winning Time 100.000% 01:28:29 F45 Palmer Julia 90.601% 01:35:16 M40 Gibbons Deborah 84.150 01:35:22 M0 Garrard Sharon 84.062 Looking at the results The winning male time was 1:08:15 Whilst Steve Desborough finished in 1:18:07 – He was running at 87.37% of the pace of the winner so this is his league score Likewise Julia Palmer’s pace was 90.60% of the winning lady, so this is her league score Hope this helps explain how the scores are calculated Mike |

Thanks Mike. I get it now. That's really quite clever, I like it.
Steve you only had to put in another 13% more effort and you would have won! 
And if Julia trains 10% harder the clubs got a first class Half Marathon lady!
Cheers, John. |
