Sandilands Cup Rules for 2007/08

Races in the 2007/08 Sandilands Cup

 Team place bonus points

These categories have been created by taking into account the runner’s recent performances and their record in cross country races.

 New runners will be given a category after their first Sandilands cup race (but can score 1 point in their first race if they place in the team).

 Runners may be re-categorised after the 3rd Sandilands Cup Race to prevent someone benefiting from being miss-categorised.
