Urban League Scoring - 40s and 55s are special?

[Sloop]

It just struck me that if you wanted to look at the Nopesport League scores from the point of view of age-groups other than Open / 40 / 55, the scoring tables offer a different competition. Similar, but not the same.

eg. consider an M50 or an M65 subset of courses 2 and 3. The higher-placed of these categories are not likely to get scores in the top few, with the associated multi-point gaps 100/96/93/91 etc.

As urban races steadily pick up more customers, at some point in the future this probably ought to be fixed.

What's there to fix? The veteran categories for the Urban League are 40-54 and 55+. They aren't 40, 45 and 50, nor 40, 41, 42, 43, ... .

Having said that, we're used to identifying our rivals from within our 5-year age-groups so it seemed sensible to include the age-groups, just like the clubs are included. This also makes it possible for competitors to think 'I may be only tenth vet, but I'm top M50 / second in my club / ...'. If they get pleasure out of that, why not? But it's not the Urban League.

I compare myself to my peers in my own age group as Roger suggests. Quite happy with that
