What is a MOB MATCH?
Quite simply it is a Mob of us against a Mob of
them...
Statistically the more competitors one team has the
better their chances of winning... The way it works is that you added up the
number of runners on each side then take three off of the smaller number.
For example, if SLH have 47 and B&B have 60 then we score the first 44 from
each side. Adds up to big numbers and the team with the lower score is the
winner. First place counts 1 point, 2nd 2 etc etc - if you finish in 98th
place you score 98 points.
So, the result is not normally known until the last
few runners finish. Regardless of your age or sex you can make a big
difference just by running. Think about it - even if all our scoring runners
are home and dry, and their's are not, you still help by pushing the
opponents score higher by finishing in front of any of their scoring
runners. Great fun and it's been going on since the 18 hundreds
Ranelagh Harriers, South London Harriers and Orion
Harriers are our oldest protagonists - they are the big three. Recently we
have started to compete against Beckenham Running Club.
