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 28^th 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 5^th)
