Here are the scoring criteria for the June 29 VRAA. Those who have played before will notice a couple adjustments (no 80-mile rule, a new category for in-line skating, a 5 point bonus for races).<br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline;">VRAA scoring categories:</span><br><br><b>I. Running/Walking:</b> 4 pts for every mile (1 pt for every 1/4 mile). All weekly miles in excess of 80 to be scored at one-half points (2 pts per mile.)
