Notes on Cross
Country Scoring
The first five finishers
from each team score; that is, the sum total of the place numbers
of the first five runners from a team is its score in a meet. The team
with the lowest score wins. Should one team have five runners finish in
the top five places in a given race, the resulting score for that team
would be "15" (1+2+3+4+5=15), which is a perfect score in
cross-country.
The first seven finishers
from each team place; that is, each of these seven may displace
runners from another team, causing its score to be higher. When that is the case,
they become "pushers" by pushing up the opponents' scores. In a dual meet,
should one team have its seven runners finish in the top seven
places before any of the opponent’s five scorers finish the
resulting score of the meet would be "15-50" (8+9+10+11+12=50),
which is a shutout in cross-country. (Of course, in an invitational
or championship meet with many teams competing in a race, it is possible
to score above "50.")
In a dual meet, if one team
captures the first three places in a race or 4 out of the first 5 places, it is mathematically impossible
to lose.
In accordance with Federation
rules, a tie in team scoring will be broken by awarding the win to the
team with the faster sixth finisher.
Scoring Example #1:
Maloney Eastern
1 2
4 3
5 7
6 8
9 10
Score - 25 ---------- 30
The team with the lowest score wins.
------------------------------------------------------
Scoring Example #2 (*With "pushers"):
Maloney Eastern
2 1
3 4
6 5
8 7
9(*10,11) 12
Score - 28 ---------- 29
The team with the lowest score wins.
Only a teams 6th and 7th finishers can be pushers,
regardless of how many of its runners may finish ahead
of an opposing team's top 5 finishers.
------------------------------------------------------
Scoring Example #3 (*With "pushers"):
Maloney Eastern
1 4
2 5
3 6
11 7
12 8 (*9,10)
Score - 29 ---------- 30
The team with the lowest score wins.
After both pushers have scored (* place 9,10) the
opponent is awarded the next place(s), in this example
11th & 12th place.
Only a teams 6th and 7th finishers can be pushers,
regardless of how many of its runners may finish ahead
of an opposing team's top 5 finishers.
------------------------------------------------------
Scoring Example #4 - Tie (*With "pushers"):
Maloney Eastern
2 1
3 4
6 5
8 7
9(*10) 11
Score - 28 ---------- 28
10th Place (Maloney Sixth Runner)
12th Place (Eastern Sixth Runner)
The 10th place was a pusher for Maloney and was the
Maloney 6th runner, who placed ahead of the Eastern
6th runner, Maloney wins tie breaker.
