However, I think we really need to keep things as simple as possible or else the competition becomes a convoluted tangle of data and loop holes. Tiered mileage points, scavenger hunts, random bonus points, etc although fantastic ideas will only confuse the issue especially for the volunteers responsible for counting the data. If it is too difficult to explain in the written rules then it is too hard to follow as a competitor…. at least that’s my opinion.
My thought for the points not automatically calculated on a factor of miles + days is that these points would be tracked by the individual and then prize contenders will be audited. Because I completely agree that it is too much to ask 1 or 2 people to keep track of everyone’s random points.
As for explaining the rules for these extra points here’s my proposal:
Pics: you get the average of the first 3 responses to your picture (responses should be between 0 and 10 pts)
Destination: each team gets to pick 1 destination that is open to everyone is active for 1 week. In order for your ride at that destination to count it needs to be at least 1 mile long (or as long as we decide the daily minimum is) and take place during the active week. These rides will be worth 20 points + miles points + daily points. (note- daily and milage points will be calculated automatically, so you just need to keep track of which destination rides you did.
Those are the non-automatic points I’d most like to see. But if it doesn’t happen I’ll get over it really quickly.
It is up the individual to keep track of points earned for pictures and destinations. You must be able to prove your points in order for them to count.
I’ll volunteer to audit *some* of the winners points if we go this route.
