However, the SA junior championships (Cornalees) and the JHI Trial will be weighted, where runners will receive 10 bonus points.

The final league score comprises the athlete’s best 3 race scores, plus 2 points for each race completed. If overall points are tied after the final League race, points scored at SAL junior championship and the JHI trial race will be used to determine the winner of the age category. U13 athletes count towards finishing the league but do not score points during the league.
