    Multi year standings are based on 1 point for coming in first, 2 points for second, etc.  Total points for all years are divided by the number of years in the game.  How the game works is listed after this post. Updated for 2023

      This is a multi-year game based on the Miles Game run by Cyberic in 2021.  The game runs annually and results are tracked for each year.  The game is for fun, to see how each of us is doing, and to see how it runs over multiple years.  Below is how the game works - it's not perfect and flaws can be identified, but we really don't want to get into negotiating rules every year.  The one thing is if you want to participate, please stay in for several years; it doesn't work if people only play when they expect to have a good year.  If you forget to log a weekend run before I run the results, just send me a message and I'll add the miles retroactively, but they won't show up until the following week's results.  If you're hiding miles from the RA game, please send me a message Sunday evening with your weekly total so I can input it in the spreadsheet; I'd rather not be doing retroactive changes due to not logging miles for the other game.

       

      • Game is individual
      • Each player's weekly target for the year is based on the average miles of their past 3 years, with the average divided by 365 and multiplied by 7.  No adjustment is made for leap years in calculating the average.
      • Weekly miles are rounded to 1 decimal point
      • Weeks run from Monday to Sunday
      • There will be 51 weeks most years, with week 1 starting on the first Monday in January
      • There are two elements of scoring:  weekly miles vs. target and consistency week over week.
      • Consistency will be measured via the standard deviation of the set of each week's difference vs. your average weekly miles (not vs. your goal).  The 10 players with the lowest standard deviations will get points in increments of 10, with the lowest getting 100, the second lowest 90, etc.
      • Scoring per week ranges from 0 to 20 points like this:
      • If you hit your weekly mileage you get 10 points
      • You get 1 extra point for each 10% completed over your goal, to a max of 100% (or 10 extra points)
      • You lose a point for each 10% under target.
      • In Excel terms, the formula is MIN(10+TRUNC((Weekly Miles - Target)/(Target/10)),20)
      • Examples below

      A runner has a 24 miles per week target, so extra points are added/subtracted for each 2.4 miles above or below target

      • 21 miles = 9 points  (difference of 3 miles)
      • 19 miles = 8 points (difference of 5 miles)
      • 26 miles = 10 points (difference of 2 miles)
      • 60 miles = 20 points (20 points is the max)

      A runner has a 60 miles per week target, so extra points are added/subtracted for each 6 miles above or below target

      • 65 miles = 10 points (difference of 5 miles)
      • 50 miles = 9 points (difference of 15 miles)
      • 80 miles = 13 points (difference of 20 miles)
      • 1 miles = 1 point (the minimum if you run any miles)
      • 0 miles = 0 points
      5k 23:48.45 (3/22); 4M 31:26 (2/22); 5M 38:55 (11/23); 10k 49:24 (10/22); 
      10M 1:29:33 (2/24); Half 1:48:32 (10/22); Marathon 4:29:58 (11/23)

                Looking at the results, I bumped UP a position by running less? LOL.

                  In the first post, the columns are 2022 & 2023; I think you’re off by a year, unless you have a crystal ball?

                   

                  Anyway in the multi-year standings, I’m glad you only have the average placing and not the standard deviation of the placing—mine is by far the worst, dropping from 1st to 10th!
