You might remember (or maybe not) that the whole purpose of the Flatland Multisport Series was to recognize athletes for their participation and their outstanding performances. We’ve been keeping track all summer (it’s a big job). And we’ve finally got a complete listing.

How the points work:

Every athlete that finishes a Flatland Series race is given 25 points.

Then from there overall winners are awarded points – 200 for first overall; 175 for second overall; 150 for third overall; 125 for fourth overall; and finally 110 for fifth overall (both male and female).

And then from there Age Group winners are awarded points based on their performance – 100 for first in their age group; 75 for second, 50 for third; 25 for fourth and 10 for fifth (both male and female). (Don’t start thinking crazy – you either get overall points or age group points – not both).

If there are ties – then we go to the T2 time at Big Creek Tri 29. The fastest time makes the decision.

Make sense?

Now – if you open the links below and find an error – just chalk it up to my incompetence – and send me an email with the subject line “Craig, You’re a Bonehead!” to info@flatlandseries.com and I’ll get it fixed.

What do we win?

The overall male and overall female winners will be crowned the 2009 Flatland Multisport Series Men’s or Women’s Champion and win free entry to the 2010 Flatland Multisport Series races; one year of free entries to any race; and other great shwag from our sponsors.

Every athlete with 75 or more points will get a discount code for $10 to any 2010 Flatland Series race.

Finally, we’ll draw a name from the pool of athletes that earned 75 or more points in 2009 to be named the 2009 Flatland Series Wild Card Athletes of the Year – they’ll win free entry to the 2010 Flatland Multisport Series races; one year of free entries to any race; and other great shwag from our sponsors.

There is one more opportunity to earn points in the Flatland Series and that is to race at Spooky Cross (October 31/November 1). Sure, you’ll be going to the dark side of “Cyclocross” – but I do encourage you to give it try. Cyclocross is a real hoot – and if you have a mountain bike – and running legs – and a willingness to have fun and drink beer – then cyclocross is for you. Visit www.spookycross.org for more information. Do a YouTube search for some great video on how these races work.
