If this still results in a tie, the athlete and/or team with the fastest run time during the season will prevail. • The athlete and/or team in each recognized subcategory earning the most points will receive the Points Champion trophy and title. • The individual earning the most points, regardless of age or gender, will receive the Ted Overcash Award. • 2nd and 3rd place finishers will receive a certificate. In the event circumstances outside the control of the organization prevent one or more events from occurring during a season the competition oversight committee, if needed, will evaluate and adjust the minimum points requirement. Birthday Mid-Season: Athletes earn points at each event based on their current age at the event per our Age Consideration Policy on Page 12.
