Preliminary POINTS SERIES Ontario Masters 2024-2025
We will be having a season-long point series of races again this year. Your time will be adjusted according to the age-related handicapping tables and the fastest male and female skier will receive 100 points. Each skier will receive points according to the percentage his/her age adjusted time is behind the fastest skier. If two distances are offered, the shorter distance race time will be increased proportionate to the longer distance and 10% added before applying age handicap.
1. For the Loppet points, the best 5 age -adjusted races are counted for each skier from all of the races participated in.
2. A skier must include at least 2 races from the Ontario Masters Championships .
3. A skier must be a member of the Ontario Masters Cross Country Ski Association at the time of the event to have his/her points tabulated for the event. An exception will be made for a skier who has never been a previous member of the association but points will only be calculated for members joining prior to the Ontario Masters Championships as the preliminary points standing will be calculated after the championships and cannot be altered after that. Please note that if there is a Master’s category (versus open) you must register for the Master’s race for points to be calculated.
