G.1.5 Daily Ranking credits are only used to qualify for annual ranking by those otherwise unable to meet the required number of races. Daily ranking credits are obtained from: a) Administration of a day of an Orienteering USA sanctioned A-meet in such a capacity that, at the discretion of the meet director, the person cannot physically or fairly enter the event. b) Being assigned a "Sporting Withdrawal (SPW)” for assisting in an emergency or as determined by the jury as in sections or . c) Starting a course that is voided by meet officials. d) Completing a course at an Orienteering USA sanctioned class A-meet that does not meet the requirements of G.1.2a, such as a Relay. e) Completing a course at an Orienteering USA sanctioned class A-meet that has fewer than five finishers (three for white and yellow courses). These courses will not yield statistically significant ranking results so will not count numerically towards a ranking score. G.1.6 No more than two credit days may be used toward qualification for annual ranking. G.1.7 Calculation of annual ranking points are as follows: a) For each qualifying person, take their best 4 daily ranking point days plus 1/2 of the remaining ranking point days (e.g., if 5 races are run, the top 4 + [1/2 x 1] = 4.5 races are ranked), and average them to the nearest tenth of a point. Competitors who need credits (Section G.1.5) to meet their minimum requirements will have the points from all their point qualifying competitions (Section G.1.2) on courses of one color averaged for their ranking in their class on that color course. b) Next, determine the top three ranked individuals on the course for the year, average their annual ranking points, and divide the result into 100, calling the result the Normalization Factor (NF). Multiply the ranking points of everyone ranked on the course by NF to determine their final ranking points, to the nearest tenth of a point. c) Finally, separate the persons on the course into their classes and list them in order. G.1.8 Persons who qualify for ranking on a course will be ranked in the class on the course that is nearest their own age, regardless of the class(es) they actually ran. G.1.9 A person may receive annual rankings on two different courses, provided that on one of the courses, they obtain daily ranking points (no credits) for the full number of days needed for ranking, else they will only receive ranking on the course and class nearest their own Orienteering USA age class. If they meet these more stringent requirements on one course, the second course need only meet the normal requirements.
G.1.10 Persons failing to meet the minimum annual ranking requirements for any class may be listed at the bottom of the class (in the unofficial rankings), with their points and number of qualifying days, at the discretion of the Ranking Committee. G.1.11 Persons failing to meet the ranking membership requirement but meeting the minimum number of races requirement may be listed in their appropriate place in the rankings at the discretion of the Ranking Committee, but OUSA members and their separate rankings will be made clear. G.1.12 RANKING AWARDS: At the end of the orienteering year those competitors meeting the requirements of section G.1.1 and appearing in the official ranking list will be eligible for awards as follows: a) The top three finishers in the rankings in each Championship age class will be presented the gold award by Orienteering USA. b) Orienteers in each Championship age class not receiving gold awards and acquiring points no less than 80% of the average of the gold award winners in their class shall receive silver awards. c) Orienteers in each Championship age class not receiving gold or silver awards and acquiring points no less than 70% of the average of the gold award winners in their class shall receive bronze awards. G.2 Trail-O Rankings G.2.1 The Trail Orienteering committee shall maintain rankings for all competitors at Orienteering USA sanctioned Trail Orienteering events. G.2.2 Ranking points for each event shall be computed using the following formula: Ranking points = [(competitor’s score/Winner’s score) x100] – [(competitor’s time/maximum time penalty) x (100/Winner’s score)] G.2.3 The Winner’s Score shall be the highest score earned at each event by a competitor who is eligible to represent the U.S. in international competition. G.2.4 The maximum time penalty is equal to 120 x number of valid timed controls. G.2.5 The top three scores for each competitor from the last seven ranking events are averaged to determine overall ranking. Apparent ties are resolved to the 4th decimal place. G.2.6 For competitors with fewer than three scores, zeroes will be used in place of the missing scores. G.2.7 Trail O Event Directors and Course Setters receive a credit equal to their top result. No more than one credit will be used in determining the overall ranking score.
