Yin Yang Series

Scoring

Each individual race will be scored within gender. The top male/female CSU finishers receive 15 points. 2nd place is 14 points and so on down to 6 points for 10th place. All other participating CSU runners will receive 5 points. There are 8 races in the series, but only your top 5 point-winning performance count towards your season total. The fashion police will be out in force during the series, and you will be stripped of your points for any race in which you do not wear visible CSU gear (singlet, t-shirt, long sleeved t-shirt, wind breaker or hoodie).

Just to keep things exciting — last year’s top three men & women YinYang winners will have to work a little harder this year — as we are going to subtract 5 points for the first place, 3 for the 2nd place and one for 3rd place.

2 bonus points each can be earned by volunteering at the Architecture for Humanity 5k, Mount Washington, the Corporate Challenge and the Tufts 10k for Women. Volunteering at other races is bonus-worthy as well (you are on the honor system), but the onus is on you to report your good deeds to Geoffrey Kent.

A final note on the race series — we will send out reminders before each race and a post race report. Like last year we will have an assortment of prizes that will be awarded at the CSU Recognition Party at the end of the season. Send questions or comments on the series to Geoffrey Kent or Catherine Cagle.
