Yeah, I know it’s still summer weather but since it’s now technically fall I thought this would be as good a time as any to open up a discussion thread so that whatever we decide to do for 2020 won’t be a last minute discussion/decision.
NOTE that this is a DISCUSSION thread, not a DECISION thread. Any and all discussion, criticism (constructive and polite), suggestions, etc. are welcome. But that doesn’t mean that just because it’s discussed that it means that’s what we’re going to do. What we end up doing will depend on a lot of different factors, including (but not necessarily limited to): willing and able volunteers, feasibility to implement, sensibility, understandability (is that even a word?), etc.
So with that in mind … Some things we’d like to hear from y’all about (but not limited to just these few things):
1. What did you think of the mileage cap (for team points, not individual points)? Scrap? Keep? Keep but up the mileage?
2. What do you think about trying to make the teams more “local,” i.e., teammates from the same area? But still trying to “balance” the teams (based on past Freezing Saddles participation) so that no one team is “stacked” with high mileage riders?
3. Conversely, we could just make team assignments totally random. I think Steve O has done some analysis to indicate that this doesn’t necessarily change the results in terms of differences between teams.
4. What do you think about smaller size teams? Last year we had 19 teams with 10 riders each. It’s been suggested that Freezing Saddles is more competitive with smaller teams because every team member’s miles (or lack thereof) count more. Is something like 6 riders too small for a team?
5. Keep the current point system? 10 points for the first ride mile of the day (as an incentive to ride) but 1 point for every mile afterwards.
Again, it’s not going to be possible to do everything (or maybe even many of the things) that people suggest. But this is your chance to discuss and make suggestions for the above or anything else.
THANX!

Where IS the new points system stated? I’ve scrolled through 20 pages of this “moderately amusing” thread and am none the wiser!:rolleyes:

Points are determined by cow bingo, that’s why there’s sometimes a delay in seeing your scores on the leaderboard.

Here is the formula (to the best of my knowledge):
First mile riding bonus for each day you ride =10 points
+ Mile 1 = 10 points; Total 20 points
+ Mile 2 = 9 points; Total 29 points
+ Mile 3 = 8 points; Total 37 points
+ Mile 4 = 7 points; Total 44 points
+ Mile 5 = 6 points; Total 50 points
+ Mile 6 = 5 points; Total 55 points
+ Mile 7 = 4 points; Total 59 points
+ Mile 8 = 3 points; Total 62 points
+ Mile 9 = 2 points; Total 64 points
+ Mile 10 = 1 point; Total 65 points
+ Miles 11, 12, 13,…,N (where N is an arbitrarily large number of total miles) = 1 point per mile; Total 65 + (N-10) points
