HALO LEAGUE RULES

(for season 2005/06 onwards)

 

1.  There shall be 12* Competition Days designated HL events, of which 6 will count**.

 As far as is possible, these should not clash with Major Badge or National Events accessible to HALO members or in which some members would be likely to participate.

 

2.  Events to be published, in advance, in HALO NEWS and on the HALO website.

 

3.  All Halo District Events should be included.  Other events should be YHOA District ones but in addition, there should be some Competition Days when there is an alternative event in another region which would enable those living in the more southerly parts of our region to participate in the HL with less travelling.  These Competition Days should be known as doubleheaders***.

 

4.  Planner/Controller of HALO events to be awarded the average of their scores for the event/s where they officiate.

 

5.  Calculations to be based on speed/km (adjusted for climb) for a particular 'colour' course.  Classes are allocated courses corresponding to their age. Running 'up' or  'down' a colour increases or decreases points by 10% maximum. [These facts need to be published]. The base used is that provided by BOF as guideline for running speed at Regional events.  

 

6.  There will be a minimum points award of 50 to anyone completing a course but scoring less than that in any HL event

 

7.  Scores and HL table to be updated and published, when possible, after each event on the HALO website.

 

8.   Awards to be in the following categories:

Overall Champion

Veteran (51+)              1st, 2nd, 3rd         

                                          Senior (21 – 50)          1st,2nd,3rd

                                          Junior  (under 21)        1st ,2nd,3rd
