In
2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 we will use age grading to equalize competitors in
each gender for the series championship race.
Age-graded
tables are a series of "age factors" and "age standards"
which can be used to compare performances at different ages in road races.
Age-graded tables show how much a typical person's athletic performance
improves during youth and declines during aging. The performances vary by
event. The tables were researched by the World Association of Veteran Athletes
(WAVA), the world governing body for masters (veterans) long distance running.
The
standards correspond approximately to world record marks for a person of that
age and sex in that event. Achievement levels within a gender are:
100%
Approximate World Record Level
90%+
World Class
80%+
National Class
70%+
Regional Class
60%+
Local Class
