Scoring
- Your best four results from the six events count.
- Points follow your placing: first earns one point, second earns two, and so on. The lowest overall score wins.
- A planner receives points equal to their best other result.
- A mispunch, a did-not-finish result or non-attendance scores the number of people attending that day plus three. For example, if 12 people attend, a non-result scores 15.
