Points Scoring System

The Green Race Speed Series is our 4 major events across New Territories, Hong Kong Island, and Lantau Island, including TGR 8 Immortals, TGR Double Nine, TGR Pottinger, and TGR Tigershead. We will adopt the point system to the Long Distance in the series. The final winner will be determined by the highest score in any 3 races in the series, and your ranking and elapsed time will contribute to your final score.

There are 2 elements in the system : position and finished time. Most of the participants have to focus on their finish time to score the performance points. For elite runners , to get a better position in a race may help to achieve bigger advantages over their opponents for the series championship.

Points Calculation

Position Points + Performance Points = final score of the race

Scenario A

Let’s say Runner A got the champion in the race and finished in 3:10 hours.

The runner can get 250 (Position Points) + 150 (Performance Points) = 400 (Total Points)

Scenario B

If 3 runners participated in all races in the series, we will count their score in the best 3 races.

	TGR 8 Immortals	TGR Double Nine	TGR Pottinger	TGR Tigershead
Runner A	400	330	400	270
Runner B	300	400	270	400
Runner C	270	270	330	330

Runner A best result：400 + 400 + 330 = 1130
Runner B best result：400 + 400 + 300 = 1100
Runner C best result：330 + 330 + 270 = 930

According to the scoring system, the final winner will go to Runner A.

Scenario C

If 2 runners get the same score for the 3 races, we will consider their position for each race.

	TGR 8 Immortals	TGR Double Nine	TGR Pottinger	TGR Tigershead
Runner D	38	43	100	54
Runner E	300	400	270	400

Runner D : 38th x 1, 43th x 1, 54th x 1
Runner E : 40th x 1, 45th x 1, 100th x 1

According to the scoring system, Runner D’s performance is better.

Scenario D

	TGR 8 Immortals	TGR Double Nine	TGR Pottinger	TGR Tigershead
Runner F	400 ( 3hr 15m )	330 (3hr 40m)	400	270
Runner G	330 （3hr 32m）	400 （3hr 16m）	270	400

Runner F：3hr 15m + 3hr 40m = 6hr 55m
Runner G：3hr 32m + 3hr 16m = 6hr 48m

According to the scoring system, the final winner goes to Runner G.
