With it being October, or as I like to refer it, championship season, a bit of change in the methodology:
- Championship rating
- This is comprised of ratings from the past two weeks (and in the future, anything from the week of September 28th on)
- A runner must have two races in this time period to be eligible
- I take whichever is the higher rating, championship or entire season, and apply it to these rankings
- This will aid those who have improved throughout the season
- Eliminating inactive runners
- I took out runners who haven’t had a rating in at least a month (counting back from October 5th)
