just wondering, what do the winners receive for being victorious?
A lot of clubs take it quite seriously, so will they win free entries for their first team to all of next years races, wearing bibs with number '1' on them and possibly yellow jerseys, bunches of flowers and small teddy bears, etc..
Or will it just be the glory and a small trophy?

just had a look at final table, and i believe that it was SO who got 11 points at the Harvester, and not SOC who actually got disqualified.
The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.

How formal is the UK Relay League. I see a foreign team got a point, are they eligible to win? Where SHUOC have more than one team are they allowed to chop and change runners. Normally the second team is in a different division or is not eligible for points. It is also obvious that it is crucial to attend all events if you want to figure at the top.

pretty formal, there has been big discussions in the past about foriegn teams after halden won the womens jk. the second teams issue is pretty irrelevant, as all the teams are selected from the same pool of athletes there is no feasible way that they could have a separate competition, eg Middleditch was in ShUOCs 2nd team at the jk, are you trying to say that he should then not be allowed to run in their first team? compacted by the fact that teams change size through the competition this makes it doubly irrelevnat.
i think the uk relay league is a good format and its only problem is that so few clubs are competitive in it. i guess this year wasn´t helped by the location of the british, and the competition was really kept going (mens at least) by the fierce rivalry between euoc and shuoc, we wern´t going to concede any race to them without a fight.
bring on season 2006!

The UK Relay League is overseen by the Elite Competitions Steering Group and was set up as something to try encourage teams to attend all the major relays, hence the need to attend all the events if you are to do well (e.g. would EUOC have come to the Harvester this year if they hadn't been trying to win the UKRL?).
To encourage clubs to enter as many teams as possible all teams from a club can earn points and possibly take vital points off rival clubs.
For the sake of simplicity runners are not tied to a particular team within a club (given the varying numbers required for each relay this would be a non-starter in pratice) and consequentially the team numbering for awarding points is governed by the finish order in particular relay not any order declared in the entry (e.g. should ShUOC enter three teams ShUOC1, ShUOC2 and ShUOC3 in a particular relay but ShUOC3 finishes ahead of ShUOC2 then in the UKRL ShUOC 2 would be designated the points gained by their second finishing team i.e ShUOC3).
Foreign teams, as with foreign runners in the UK Cup, is currently something of a grey area that the ECSG recognises needs clearing up and intends to clarify before next year.
