Competitive
teams will comprise 3 members of the same club. Non-Scottish clubs are
eligible. Teams comprising members of different clubs will be
non-competitive, except for “alliances” of neighbouring
clubs (see below). Teams comprising competitors of inappropriate age
class, or with runners running more than once, may take part but will be
non-competitive.
Any
combination of sexes and ages is allowed. All senior classes start together and
the handicap winners will be the first team from any of classes 3-7 to finish.
Juniors and 21s may also compete in the “veteran” handicap. Each team member in
the handicap is allotted points as follows:

Courses
A, B, C and D will be TD5 standard with an estimated winning time of 35 min for
good M21, W21, M50 and M65 respectively. LG, O and Y correspond to the colour coded system. Teams may run in a longer class if they wish.
Weak teams may run in a shorter class but will be non-competitive.
Ad
hoc teams and alliances of neighbouring clubs may be accepted
though a team which appears much stronger than their likely competition will be
non-competitive.
Typically,
two
neighbouring clubs will be allowed to compete as an
“alliance” if they have insufficient competitors to make a full team. This
may include e.g. the only 1 or 2 juniors in a club with many adults. “Neighbouring” will be interpreted flexibly for far-travelled
clubs.
EPS-SI will be used.
