No watch league

2010 Competition

Race Night 1 Race Night 2 Race Night 3 Race Night 4 Race Night 5

In April 2006 we launched a brand new competition, “the no watch” league.

In this competition, the winner is not the first past the post but the runner who finishes nearest their handicap. No runner can wear their watch to prevent cheating, hence no watch league.

To score any points the runner must finish within 15 seconds (+ or -) of their handicap time and points are awarded as follows.

There are also 6 points available to the winner, 4 points for second place and 2 points for 3rd place regardless of times.
