Summer League

The Westies summer league for 2010 saw a rather late start, but is now underway, introduced by league organiser Manny Gorman:-

"Here's a rather delayed and somewhat changed format for the Westies Summer League, which should allow more Westies to partake of its delights.

There are 4 Medium and 4 Short Category races to choose from, with your best 4 results to count.
You must do at least 1 Medium to count.

Points will be 1st - 21, 2nd - 19, 3rd - 18, 4th - 17, etc

If tied then advantage goes to who beat who the most in the 4 counters.
If still tied then it goes to the person having done the most races.
If still tied then it goes to who did more Mediums.
If still tied then I take bribes in the form of total alcoholic oblivion.
If still tied, you should be doing mountain marathons together.

So sharpen your PB studs and pencil in at least 4 races, there may be spot prizes for completers.
There are no Longs, and no SHR counters to endure, and the whole thing is quickfire just over the next couple of months, so get out there and do something with all that training you do..."
