Some NOTES about the overall points:
1. You need to be a YRS member. Click here to read more about membership.
2. Participation points are awarded with placement points. Participation points are awarded everytime a YRS member competes in an event. 5 points are awarded for each event. For placement points, the best 5 out of 10 races will be tabulated at the end of the season. MORE points the better!! This gives all YRS members a chance to get a trophy or medal at the end of the YRS season.
Any questions or issues, please contact Leah.
Please NOTE - Deadline for becoming a full series member is June 10th, 2013
NOTE - School Participation Challenge points are counted whether the child is a YRS member or not. Any child that shows up from a school will receive points towards the school participation challenge.
