Individual orienteers score points for their runs. There are separate target speeds for each age class as shown in the table above. These are set with the intention that a top standard competitor having a good run on an average SE area should score 100 points. Slower runs score proportionately less points, until a run at half the target speed scores the minimum 1 point. Competitors can run any course they want but those that run “down” from the course recommended for their age class will only score a proportion of the points available had they run the recommended course or a higher one. This proportion is as follows;
Running down 1 course 75%, 2 courses 50%, 3 courses 25%, 4 or more courses 1 point only
Anyone completing any course at any South-East League event scores at least one point. Runs on the string course and any novice courses score one point, non-running helpers are awarded points based on their average score from the previous season.
The scores for each competitor from a given club are then added together to give a score for each club. The clubs are ranked by score and SE League points are awarded.
Target times and scoring: Below are the mins/km target rates for each age group.
