Hash league

The way hash runs are set with checks and false trails (False T) makes it very hard to judge who ran the best in a particular run.

This is my suggestion if there was a Hash League where top runners from all chapters compete say once a month.  The suggestion below may even be applied to GH5 internally.


For each run, points are scored as such:

A. Points for finishing-     1st runner out - 5 points
                                           2nd                 - 4 points
                                           3rd                  - 3 points
                                           4th                  - 2 points
                                           5th                   - 1 point

B. First to reach a check or false T - 3 points

C. Breaking a check - 2 points + bonus 2 points if connected paper and waited for next runner (total 4 points).


The best runner will be the runner with most points.

For the benefit of readers who use chalk in their chapter, we use a biodegradable trail paper. Trail paper is laid every 7-10 steps. A check is signified by a bunch of trail paper and you know you have reached a False T if the paper trail ends abruptly.
