Awards System (SARWC)
Age as of 31st December for all trophies and awards.
For each age group male and female the points are;
1st – 10, 2nd – 8, 3rd – 6, 4th – 5, 5th – 4, 6th – 3, 7th – 2, 8th onwards – 1
A walker can nominate (and be counted for points) in a higher age group. They can make the nomination at the start of the season (for the whole of the season) or event by event.
If no different age group is nominated, the walker will participate in their actual age group.
Points are only scored if the walker participates in the distance for their age or longer. If participating in shorter distances they are a “reserve” and do not count in placing and points.
To be eligible for an award, walkers must have participated in at least 5 point scoring events.
