General information
All courses have 3 legs. Competitive teams will comprise 3 members of the same club. Non-Scottish clubs are eligible. Teams comprising members of different clubs will be non-competitive, except for ‘alliances’ of neighbouring clubs (see below). Teams comprising competitors of inappropriate age class, or with runners running more than once, may take part but will be non-competitive.
Any combination of sexes and ages is allowed. All senior classes start together and the handicap winners will be the first team from any of classes 3-7 to finish. Juniors and 21s may also compete in the ‘veteran’ handicap. Each team member in the handicap is allotted points as follows:
Handicap points
| M14- | 6 | W14- | 6 | M35 | 1 | W35 | 3 | M60 | 6 | W60 | 8 |
| M16 | 4 | W16 | 5 | M40 | 2 | W40 | 4 | M65 | 7 | W65 | 9 |
| M18 | 2 | W18 | 4 | M45 | 3 | W45 | 5 | M70+ | 8 | W70+ | 10 |
| M20 | 1 | W20 | 3 | M50 | 4 | W50 | 6 | ||||
| M21 | 0 | W21 | 2 | M55 | 5 | W55 | 7 |
The courses are as follows:
| 1. Men’s Open | A | A | A | 6. Handicap: 15+ point | C | D | C |
| 2. Women Open | B | B | B | 7. Handicap: 18+ point | D | D | C |
| 3. Handicap: 6+ point | A | B | C | 8. Junior: Total BOF age 48- | LG | O | LG |
| 4. Handicap: 9+ point | B | C | C | 9 Junior: Total BOF age 40- | Y | Y | O |
| 5. Handicap: 12+ point | B | D | C | Ad hoc teams are welcome on all courses. |
Courses A, B, C and D will be TD5 standard. Because of the constraints of the area, courses may be slightly longer than usual (subject to controlling). LG, O and Y correspond to the colour coded system. Teams may run in a longer class if they wish. Weak teams may run in a shorter class but will be non-competitive.
Ad hoc teams and alliances of neighbouring clubs may be accepted though a team which appears much stronger than their likely competition will be non-competitive.
Typically, two neighbouring clubs will be allowed to compete as an “alliance” if they have insufficient competitors to make a full team. This may include e.g. the only 1 or 2 juniors in a club with many adults. “Neighbouring” will be interpreted flexibly for far-travelled clubs
