MISC:

Please check packnewsletter.org for in-season leaders and status. Please advise of corrections or changes.

Yes, it's fairly simple; not many classes or age groups, or weighting for the length of the race or the distance you traveled to get there, but it is a start.

And, it's better to start something than to discuss/debate forever, so let's get started!

PS: Dropping in classes (especially from competition classes to recreation ) is discouraged. We probably can't avoid it, but we can acknowledge (read: embarrass) at the awards ceremony.

Please play fair!
