ABOUT THE SERIES
There are 12 races. You can run as many as you like! But if you want to compete in the series......
We race in 5-year categories
The rules change a bit as you get later in the season
Initially, the number of races done places you in your category league
The leader is the one who has done most races
If that's equal, it's who won the most races when looked at as head-to-head in the category
...UNTIL YOU GET TO 8 RACES DONE....
8 is a magic number: if only one runner has done 8 that of course is the winner
but if two or more have done 8, or more than 8, it goes straight to head-to-head
whether one or more have done 9, or 10, or 11, or 12 is immaterial
at that level, only the number of wins head-to-head is counted

(I will put some old examples in the "Results" section as illustration)
