Cat & Mouse / Chase / Pursuit -- Events

Feedback

The concept for this type of event is a lot of fun. Everyone but A is getting chased, and everyone but D is chasing. The lower the level, the earlier you start.

My feedback is for these event hosts to analyze the results of their events and adjust start times so that there is a fair distribution of ride categories ‘winning’ (assuming no one is lying about their category ;-).

I don’t have any statistics to back this up, but my guess is that, for example, the lead group of A’s finish first close to 100% of the time. And while some D riders may not get caught by some C riders, I’m also guessing that the front C riders catch the front D riders, and so on between A and B, B and C.

If I think of AVG w/kg, D is up to 2.4. If the front group of D’s worked their butts off (20% higher), they would average 2.9. For the front A group to catch them, they should have to average just over 20% above max, say 22% higher than 5.0 (6.1). My guess is the D’s avg close to max in a good race, the A’s under max, and they smoke them after 30 minutes into a 60 minute race. Make sense?

There are races like this. Hare and Hounds race, and the DIRT Dadurday Chase Race for example.

Thanks. I’m familiar with the events and have done several. I was explaining the type of event for someone unfamiliar with them, before getting to the request of ‘evening the score’ between levels.

Yes, sorry. I latched on to the title and first sentence and thought “I’ve got this!”

I also didn’t twig it was in “Feedback” - I thought it was in “Feature requests”.

Mea culpa. Too busy trying to be helpful to actually read the full post. D’oh!
