Series Information

The Questars adventure race series runs annually each calendar year.

Each series starts with the first Questars adventure race in that calendar year (typically towards the end of March) and ends with the last adventure race in that calendar year (usually September / October time).

Full details about the Questars adventure race series can be found below. All past series leaderboards are available to download by clicking on the relevant file attached to the top of this page.

Summary Points

• Your top three one-day Questars results and your best two-day Q2 result count towards your series score.
• No registration is required to take part in the series - series scores are automatically calculated for every finisher of every race, irrespective of the number of races they've done.
• Series scores are calculated for every unique team member's name so make sure your name is spelt the same for every race that you enter.
• Changing teams / team names / categories throughout the series won't affect your series score.
• The top hundred or so series scores will be published on the series leaderboard, which will be updated after each race.
• Series prizes will be awarded to those at the top of the series leaderboard, i.e. those with the highest series scores, after the final race of the series.

How Series Scores Are Calculated

Overview

Race scores are converted into series points and series points from different races are added together for each person, to give their series score.

The Details

Series points are calculated by dividing your race score by the overall race winner’s score and multiplying by 1000 for one-day Questars races or 2000 for two-day Q2 races. 

An example for a one-day Questars adventure race is shown below:                    

Race Position      Race Score          Series Points           How Calculated?                              

1st                          895 pts                1000 pts               (895/895)*1000                         

28th                        530 pts                  592 pts               (530/895)*1000                    

Calculating series points like this improves consistency throughout the series by minimising the impact of variable conditions between races which are beyond the course planner's control e.g. the weather. 

Your top three series points from one-day Questars adventure races and your highest series points from a two-day Q2 race will be added together to give your series score.

Information About Taking Part

• Series points and hence a series score will automatically be calculated for every finisher in every race so you do not need to register or apply separately to take part in the series. The top hundred or so series scores at the present time will be included on the series leaderboard. 
• Series points are calculated per individual participant / team member. So if you change your team composition between races your series points are unaffected. Individuals in teams with the same team members throughout the series will gain the same series points and ranking on the series leaderboard.
• You can take part in as many or as few races in the Questars series as you wish (you do not have to do three one-day Questars adventure races or a two-day Q2 race) but only series points from your top three one-day Questars results and your highest two-day Q2 result will count towards your final series score.
