I hope to be able to contribute. Looking forward to your on-course observations and insights whenever they come.
Is there a limit to the number of runners that a qualified team can enter in this race?
7 maximum per team, but only the top 5 score. The other 2 can "displace" top 5 runners from other schools, thus affecting the points. Example:
1. Runner #1 Team A - 1 point
18. Runner #5 Team A - 18 points
19. Runner #4 Team B - 19 points
20. Runner #6 Team A - 20 points
21. Runner #5 Team B - 21 points
So, although Runner #5 Team B was the 20th "counted" runner, he gets 21 points because he finished behind Team A's 6th runner.
Note: a team can start with as few as 5 runners, but must finish with at least 5 to be counted in the team standings. That team just would not be able to "displace" any runners from other teams.
Also, there are 38 unattached runners in the field - they CANNOT displace.
1. Runner #1 Team A - 1 point
18. Runner #5 Team A - 18 points
19. Runner #4 Team B - 19 points
20. Runner #6 Team A - 20 points
21. UNATTACHED RUNNER - [no points]
22. Runner #5 Team B - 21 points
