WOW!! Another Great Idea - Club TT Series prize

[Jon C C on a Bianchi]

And another idea...

again probably totally unoriginal but....

what about a series prize for the Club TTs? For example taking your three best times over the series and totalling them up. For one it might encourage riders to come along to more than one TT and another it rewards consistency and commitment rather than the often unhandicapped rider that turns up and rides for a bit of glory (and why not?) but we never see again (OK, I know, another desperate attempt to wangle a medal !! ). It would also give a bit more coherence to the series rather than just being seen as a number of one-off TTs.

What does everybody else think?

Another good idea, had you're thinking cap on today Jon.

One modification I would suggest is that rather than being based on time, base it on position. Two of the club TTs are on the Bletchingley course which is much, much slower, and I think it's a bit longer than 10 miles too. So the fastest rider gets one point second fastest two points and so on, winner of the cometition is the rider with the lowest total for their best three placings. The best time gets the best placing but it would enable one or two of your scoring rounds to come from the Bletchingley course.

hey Jon - good brain work mate, has Palace stuffing Wolves put a spring in yer step eh wot?

[Ivor]

yup, should do this one too. Great to see the old people coming up with ideas.

Points score rather than time sounds good. I did think about Bletchingley - thought that we might be able to factor it in - weight it differently from North Holmwood - but points would be simpler I guess. Down side would be that it's relative than absolute i.e. it all depends who you're riding against that week.

I have two ideas a year - always on the same day. The rest of the time I sit in front of the TV dribbling.

It was the Palace game that did it - FANTASTIC!!! - that and a bit of boiled cod - omega 3 good for the brain - and has the added benefit that i can suck it down rather than chew it with my ill-fitting dentures.

Again - what next? how do we get the ACC TT League up and running?

Ok Let's go with the points. I'd like to give 30 pts for 1st all the way down to 1 for 30th. Psychological this sits better with me - I like the idea of the winner scoring most rather than least and there is a practical consideration when compiling a league table. Rider A has ridden only once so far and won gets 1 pt, whereas rider B has ridden three times won them all and has 3 pts. Rider A would head the table (by virue of the fact he's ridden fewer races - not what we want). By scoring 30 for a win - rider B would be top with 90pts and Rider A would be mid-table with 30.

I would like a scratch league and a handicap league.

Anyway, I'll draw up a more detailed proposal. Do I have to get a seconder(s)? I would have thought the more support it has the more chance it has of getting accepted. What are the rules and procedures of putting something like this to committee?

Then of course there's the question of who would collate the table and deal with any admin. Of course as I'm proposing it I'd be more than happy to do it but I don't want to tread on any toes or put any noses out of joint.

Please give this the once over and suggest amendments, emendments, additions and deletions.

Thanks

Addiscombe CC Time Trial Leagues Proposal

 To encourage participation in the ACC TT series.
 To recognise and reward commitment and consistency over the season.

 There will be two leagues: one scratch and one handicap.
 The Leagues are open to ACC 1st claim members.
 All ACC riders riding a club TT score points towards both Leagues.
 Only rides in ACC Tuesday Club TT races and the ACC President’s 10 TT race count towards the League Table.
 Points awarded 30 pts for 1st place down to 1 pt for 30th.
 Non-members who ride do not affect position or points. For the purpose of the Leagues only, their rides are ignored.
 The best three rides in the Addiscombe CC TT series count toward the rider’s final points total.
 At the end of the season only riders that compete in at least two races with be included in the final official table.

 An ACC Club TT Series Leagues Secretary will be appointed responsible for collecting results and collating the league tables.
 Results and league tables will be published on the ACC Forum.
 A trophy will be awarded for the champions of the scratch and handicap leagues.
 Gold, Silver and Bronze medals will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd at the end of the season again for both leagues.

 If points are tied at the end of the season, the fourth best ride is taken into consideration (if applicable), if still tied the fifth (again if applicable etc).
 If riders are tied and none have ridden more than three ACC TTs just their head-to-head rides are taken into consideration.

Great work Jon that set of rules seems pretty much spot on. Might be worth using the new website rather than the forum for the tables as they could be made to look nice and pretty. I don't know what would be involved but would have thought Elliot and Chloe could give update permissions to you for it.
