2006 Asheville Track Club Grand Prix Rules

1. You must be an ATC member to participate in the Grand Prix. Your membership will be verified as we start the new series and as we progress through the 2006 year.

2. Points will be awarded only for your position in the race designated on the Grand Prix schedule. For example, if the Sunset Stampede 10 Mile is on the schedule, no points will be awarded in the Sunset Stampede 4 Mile.

3. There will be at least 20 races on the Grand Prix. The schedule is subject to change. Please note that several race dates are currently tentative.

4. Adults must compete in at least 8 races to qualify for the points competition. Only your 12 best finishes will be scored. Runners 19 and under must compete in 6 races each season due to school cross country and track seasons.

5. The Grand Prix will be scored as follows: The top finisher in each race who is a member of the ATC will receive 100 points, the next person 99 points, and so on. For those races where more than 100 ATC members take part, such as Bele Chere, each finisher after the 97th club member will each receive 2 points.

6. If you change age groups during the Grand Prix season, you will compete in your new age group. Points will be transferred from your original age group to your new age group.

7. The age groups are as follows: 14 & Under,15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70 & Over.
