BEAST series points standings

We like to recognize the top performers in the BEAST Series and spice up the race a bit for the handful of you with competitive leanings. So, after each race, our crack team of statisticians churns out points for each team, applying bonuses for teams of outstanding age and sex. Each racer on the team earns the team's points for that race. The total point score for a racer is the sum of that racer's best three race scores. There are four races in the series (Fall BEAST is it's own race, not part of the series), so you can miss one and still be in the running.

2007 Standings are in the books, and the prolific Manny's team made an impressive showing! See below. The points system and 2006 standings are also on this page.

BEAST Series Points System

Each racer earns the points scored by their team in a given race. Team points for a race are made up of base points awarded for total race time (including any time penalties or bonuses), plus bonus points based on the composition of the team. Teams earn more points by having more members, being coed, or being all-women.

Base points are calculated for each team as follows: BP = 100 * (T-win/T-team),
where BP = base points, T-win = the winning time, and T-team = the team's time.

(Base points are later scaled such that, after bonus points are added, the top three teams' points average 100 points for each race.)

Bonus points for each team are then added to each team's base points, according to the following table:
Bonus pointsTeam attribute
+10for first woman on a team
+5for no men on a team
+5if team average age is 45+, under 18 or both*
+3for each additional woman on a team (after the first)
+2for each additional man on a team (after the first)

* Okay, this team attribute is confusing. To clarify: A team can get the age bonus one of three ways:

  1. The average age of all team members is 45 or greater
  2. The average age of all team members is under 18
  3. The team can be split into two groups, such that one group satisfies the 45+ criterion and the other satisfies the under-18 criterion

Here are some team bonus point examples:
