Malta Marathon

Go Sport Leaderboard Hall Of Fame Challenge

The 2017/2018 Go Sport Leaderboard Hall Of Fame Challange

This new award is a chance for all individual athletes and clubs participating in MMOC organised races to feature in the leaderboard classification updated after each race. The classification will be based on the accumliation of points awarded for each race based on the position of the individual athletes and the number of finishers.

The current races are the Attard 5K, the LRC 10K, the ZHM & 10K, the M2S, the Attard 10K and the Malta Marathon and Malta Half Marathon.

It is of utmost importance that when one fills an application form for all MMOC races, the correct ID number is inserted each time. The ID number is the only identifier for the system to know that the applicant in each race is the same one, otherwise the system will treat the applicant as a different person and points gained will not be added to the same individual account and this may not be possible to rectify.

An example as to how points are award is as follows:

If a female or male athlete finishes in 250th position in a race that has 500 finishers, the athlete will be awarded 251 points, the 1st athete will be awarded 500points and the 500th finisher 1 point.

The points awarded for the Zurrieq Half Marathon and the Malta Marathon will be multiplied in proportion to the number of finishers in the Zurrieq 10K and the Malta Half Marathon respectively. The multipliers based on history would be in the region of x 3 for the Zurrieq Haf Marathon and x 4 for the Malta Marathon. This is because of the difference in the number of finishers between the ZHM and the Z10K and the MM and the MHM.

1 point will be given to each athlete registered with a club or team for that club or team for each race that the athlete finishes.

After each race the leader board will be updated as follows:

The first 10 teams with the most points

The first 10 males with the most points

The first 10 females with the most points

The first 5 male and female O40, O45, O50, O55, O60, O65, O70 and O75 with the most points. Since athletes may cross over from one age category to another over the course of the races that pertain to the Leaderboard Hall Of Fame Challange, such athletes will remain in the category that they start in and will keep on getting points from their new category.

 

The final race which will decide the 2017/2018 Go Sport Leaderboard Hall Of Fame Challenges awards will be the Malta Marathon and Malta Half Marathon.

 

The awards will be as follows:

1st Team €1,000, 2nd Team €800, 3rd Team €600, 4th Team €400, 5th Team €200. Payments for team awards will be paid by cheque to the winning Club or Team and not in the name of any individual. If this is not possible the team will forfeit it’s placing and it will be taken by the next eligible team, other following teams will also move up a place.

If there is still a tie, then the athlete who obtained the highest points in any of the races participated in will be awarded the higher position.
