Evening 10 Handicap Competition

Explanation of the Evening 10 Handicap Competition for The Mayes Cup

Ashford Wheelers Evening 10 Handicap Competition


A time of 22 minutes 00 seconds is to be used as the ‘Standard Time’ to determine each rider’s handicap.


For each individual rider, their first recorded time of the season is to be used to determine their starting handicap.


No points are awarded in the handicap competition for each rider’s first ride.


Points will be awarded in accordance with the ‘Standard Competition’, with the fastest rider getting 10 points, the 2nd fastest 9 points and so on, down to 1 point for 10th position.


The handicap is adjusted each time a rider betters the standard time of 22 minutes.


The competition is won by the rider who has the greatest number of points at the end of the season. This is calculated using each rider’s 10 best point scoring performances. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by looking at the number of 1st place handicap finishes for each rider, followed by 2nd places and so on.


The 20 mile evening time trial does not form part of this competition and results for this will be ignored.


Example (Based on 2 riders) :


Lee Buckman


Week 1 Time : 25:46

Calculated Handicap : 3:46


Week 2 Time : 25:57

Calculated Handicapped Time : 25:57 – 3:46 = 22:11

Current Handicap : 3:46 – No change after week 2 as 22:00 not bettered


Alan Morris


Week 1 Time : 27:40

Calculated Handicap : 5:40


Week 2 Time : 26:46

Calculated Handicapped Time : 26:46 – 5:40 = 21:06

Current Handicap : 4:46 – Improvement of 54 seconds, therefore, handicap comes down by 54 seconds.


In the above example for week 2, Alan would get 10 points and Lee would get 9 points in this competition.
