Race Format (from the WIAA):

Each Sub-Sectional will be made up of two races per gender. The overall results for each gender will be combined results between each race based on finish time.

Results Release (from the WIAA):

No results will be released until both races per gender have been completed and the results have been merged. Clocks showing Race Timing can be placed on the course and at the finish, but you are not allowed to display any individual results, times etc. This includes posting results live to websites or other locations. All results must be confidential until both races for that gender are complete!

Method for Combination (from the WIAA):

For each sub-race per gender, you should use standard XC rules and procedures to break ties.When Combining both Sub-Races you will need to merge the results for each race based on times.
Based on your timing method, you will be allowed to break any ‘ties’ only up to the timing precision based on your system.

  • If there are tied athletes from the same sub-race, you can break that tie based on standard X C rules/regulations.
  • If there are ties between athletes from different sub-races once you compare them at the correct timing precision, they should be listed as a tie.
    • For the purpose of team points, you should add the values of each place and divide by two.

Example: Runner A and Runner B both have a time of 16:45.1, are from different sub races, and finish tied with the 10th team place. Both athletes would receive 10.5 team points ((10 + 11)/2).
