The official launch of the FFGP Club Handicap Series - February 2016

It’s not the Bennett Cup, not the Parris Handicap, and not the Kent Grand Prix  …..
…… it’s the FFGP.

David Beadle

The Farts & Friends Grand Prix

  • A handicap series featuring some of your favourite ‘must do’ (and some ‘really ought to do’) spring & summer races
  • A choice of distances over 10 races – from less than 5k to a marathon

How does it work?

  • A ‘par’ performance (running as well as the handicapper, Dave Beadle, thought you should) scores 15 points
  • Every 1% variance in performance adds (good) or subtracts 2 points, subject to a maximum score per race of 25  points and a minimum  5
  • (up to) your best 6 performances (as determined by handicap) across the 10 race series will count i.e. highest aggregate score wins
  • This approach should result in no small field vs large field bias and also encourage ongoing participation even if you can’t do some of the races
  • As well as overall series podium prizes, there will be other prizes, criteria tbd
