What is a good score for cross country?
A perfect score is 15 points, with the top five runners occupying the first five finishing positions. Runners who do not have a full team are removed from the results for team scoring. This happens quite often at larger races. Big invitationals and championship races are often won with point totals close to 100.
What is the lowest possible team score in cross country?
(The lowest possible score in a five-to-score match is 15 (1+2+3+4+5), achieved by a team's runners finishing in each of the top five positions.) If two teams tie, then the victor is decided by whose sixth runner, the first one whose score does not count, finished first.
How do you get 0 points in cross country?
