The SUFFOC League is an internal competitive club league, run by our Captain, John Clarke. League points are awarded to all SUFFOC members who run a course at a qualifying league event. There will be at least 10 events each year, including Level C events or above organised by SUFFOC and other neighbouring clubs. Your total score will be the sum of your 5 best events across the year, with only 2 urban events counting towards your final score.
Prizes will be awarded to the top male/female senior and junior.
Points are calculated with the same fiddle factor as the Club Chamionships, as follows:
Points = Fastest adjusted pace ÷ Your adjusted pace x 100
Adjusted Pace = Pace x Age factor x Technical Difficulty Factor
Pace is calculated in km/min with the length of the course adjusted for height climbed.
Age Factor
The courses that should be run by each age group are as follows:-

Technical Difficulty Factor
If you run the correct course for your age class then your Technical Difficulty Factor is 1
If you run an easier course for your age class then you will be penalised but will be rewarded if you run a harder technical difficulty, as follows:
| +4 TD | 0.33 |
| +3 TD | 0.5 |
| +2 TD | 0.67 |
| +1 TD | 0.83 |
| Correct TD | 1 |
| -1 TD | 1.2 |
| -2 TD | 1.5 |
| -3 TD | 2 |
| -4 TD | 3 |
At Urban Events all senior courses have the same technical difficulty. Competitors should run their designated courses.
Planners, organisers and controllers of an event receive a score of the average of their best 4 scores.
The Captain reserves the right to amend these rules during the league if any unforeseen anomalies arise.
