We sometimes offer Internal Teams events, generally for events like the SMH Half Marathon & City to Surf. The rules for these events are shown below:

• The absolute difference between the estimated time of each runner and the actual time of that runner is calculated.
• The differences of the team members are added to get the total.
• The total is divided by the number of runners in the team to get the average.
• The team with the lowest average is the winner.

For instance, if all 4 members of a team estimate a time of 100 minutes and they run 95, 106, 97 and 90, the average difference for the team is (5 + 6 + 3 + 10) / 4 = 6 minutes.

• People not finishing (or starting) the run or not members of Woodstock Runners or not wearing a Woodstock singlet are not eligible for prizes.  Their times are not counted and the times of the remaining team members are used.
• If a timing chip is used in the event, this time is used rather than the ‘gun’ time.
