Can anyone explain how the different badge times are worked out? I just noticed that they have been added to the Britiish results but I've never come across them before.
Championship = winnner's time + 25% (E, A and L classes only)
In general terms, for other badges a base time is calculated depending on number of starters in the class: average of first 3 if over 20 starters, average of first 2 if 11-20, winner's time if 1-10.
Gold = base time + 25%,
Silver = base time + 50%
Bronze = base time + 100%.
There are a few exceptions to this, particularly S and B classes.
The more precise definition is given in Appendix J of the rules on the old BOF site (not transferred to new one yet I think):

Hope that helps.
