Sprint points
How will scoring be done at the Sprint with people on different heats and possibly in different finals?

I presume it'll be done on the positions in the finals as per the UK Cup, so points allocated first for the A final runners, then down the B final etc. This means time comparisons between different finals are irrelevant - those in the A Final will outscore those on the B final even if someone in the B final has a faster time than someone on the A.

i presume that points will only be awarded on the results from the finals, but i had been wondering about this.
The 20s are being mixed up with the 21s for the finals which i think is exactly how it should be, however it does cause a few problems. What happens if a junior (lets say me!) comes 7th in my heat, and another junior (lets say my good friend jess halliday (sorry!)) comes 6th in the same heat, behind 5 seniors, and she only beats me by 2seconds. she will then be in the A final, but i will not. (top 6 go through) therefore as far as FCC points are concerned there is no way i can beat her even though i was only 2 seconds down and was 2nd junior. is this really fair? what happens if other juniors get through to the final in a slower heat, i can't beat them either?!
I wouldn't want to take the juniors out and have a separate final as i think its really important and really fun for us to race the seniors. so should this be an fcc race?

ruth I think most of the heats are pretty well balanced. In fact you might have an easier course or slightly longer one, or more controls, or maybe less climb, you might have a family of fat americans get in your way -so many variables -is sprint o fair? As fair as it can be without being a cross country race...

Ruth's point is the qualification criteria in the context of FCC points for the 20's not the sprint race itself. I thought her example was very good and quite feasible.
