Flyers Super Series suspended until further notice - further details available here.

Flyers Super Series

The Basics:
  • Accumulate points across the year based on where you place against other Flyers in nominated events
  • Harder races receive added difficulty points
  • Your best eight (8) events across the year count to your total score
Flyers can compete for points in a number of designated events across the running calendar each year. Events cover a vast range of distances from 10k to Ultra and across different terrains to cater for the preferences of members. The points and bonus structure has been designed to ensure that longer distances or more difficult events are fairly weighted relative to shorter distances or less difficult events.
​
Also generally events with larger Flyers participation are more fairly weighted compared to events with smaller Flyers participation.
End of season trophies will be awarded in the flowing categories:

  • Overall Male point scorer
  • Overall Female point scorer

Point Scoring

Basic Points
Basic points continue to be awarded on your best 8 events. You can participate in as many events as you choose. The basic points scales have been amended and simplified to more fairly reflect the actual numbers of Flyers participating in each event:
​
  • Events with up to 8 Flyers participating in a category, will be allocated points as follows:
    1st place: 15 points / 2nd Place 11 pts / 3rd place 8 pts / 4th place 6 pts / 5th place 5 pts / 6th Place 4pt etc
  • Events with 9+ Flyers participating in a category are allocated points on an incrementally increasing scale based on the total number of Flyers in that event.

    For example, assuming 30 Flyer in an event: 1st Place: 36 points / 2nd place 32 pts / 3rd place 29 pts / 4th place 27 pts / 5th place 26 pts / 25 pts etc.... / 30th place: 1 pt.
Difficulty Bonus
​In addition to basic points, a difficulty bonus will be assigned to each race to acknowledge the greater preparation, effort and recovery involved in longer and more difficult events.
Individual Event Points
If there are multiple events in a running festival, results will be awarded for each and every individual event. For example, if you are running the 10k at Hill 2 Harbour, you will be scored only against other Flyers running the 10k and anyone running the half marathon will be scored separately against other Flyers running the half marathon.

Volunteer requirement

To be eligible for any awards at the end of the season, you must have officially volunteered (and have it recorded) for the club during that year.

Event Rules

Members must comply with all of the official rules for each respective event.

Results confirmation

Results will be tallied in the week following an event.
 
Generally, names of Flyers members will be matched to the race results and Super Series points will be automatically allocated. For some larger events there will be a Facebook ‘roll call’ leading into the event so you can let everyone know you are running and your result will be picked up.
 
If for any reason you raced in a Super Series event and your time is not automatically picked up, please advise the Flyers Timing and Results coordinator and you will be added in.  

Directors decision

All decisions in relation to the Super Series are at the total discretion of the Super Series Director.
