Border Battle Traveling Trophy - Scoring update
Border Battle Traveling Trophy
A traveling trophy has been created for the Border Battle. This trophy will be presented to either WORS or MNSCS officials for display at their events. The trophy is intended to designate which state has the fastest mountain bike racers for that year.
Scoring for the competition is as follows: For each of WORS category and age class that has both a Wisconsin and Minnesota resident participating in it, points equal to the place of the top placing racer from each state will be added to get arrive at a total for each state. An age class that does not have a participant from both states will be thrown out. The State with the lowest total points will be declared the winner and claim bragging rights and possession of the Border Battle traveling trophy until next year’s race.
This method tries to equalize the process by not taking into account the higher average number of racers from Wisconsin versus Minnesota.
