2012 South West Challenge series year end results

The only race left that needs to be tallied for the 2012 South West Challenge Series year end results are the Cotton Country sprint triathlon. Rather than wait for the series point counter I looked up the Cotton Country sprint triathlon results and figured out who the winners for each division are on my own. I'm %90 certain these are correct. I listed some amazing performances for the 2012 South West Challenge series below, the SW series points are listed below that.

The Age Group that had that had the highest combined points total for the top 3 in their AG was the male 60-64 with 214 points between them. They finished 29 races between the top three!!!

The male 20-25 AG was the age group with the closest finish between the top 3 finishers, the top 3 were separated by only 2 points!

Sara Hall and Flip Lyle competed in the most SW series races with 14 races in 2012! Sara Hall also completed 12 races in 2011, 15 in 2010, 16 in 2009, and 8 in 2008 for a total of 65 races in 5 years!!!

Robert Browning had the highest points for the 2012 South West Challenge series with 80.75.

Scott Darling of the 60-64 AG had the most age group victories with 9 races finished in 1st place in his AG in 2012!

In 2012 Flip Lyle of the 65-69 male AG had the largest margin of victory with 33 points over 2nd place.

There are 3 athletes in the men 35-39 who are tied for third place with 48 points!

Overall Awards
The 2012 NMRS will give overall awards in the following categories:
Men
Women
Juniors
Winners' jerseys will go to the overall winners. Prizes (cash, gift certificates and/or merchandise) may be awarded to the top three (3) overall in each category, depending on availability.
Purely for the purposes of bragging rights, overall standings corresponding to the race group starts will also be tracked.
Scoring
Each rider's results in all 15 events will be used to calculate their overall point total.
Points will be awarded based on field sizes according to the following scales:

All finishers receive one (1) point per event.
For timed stage races, points will be awarded based on final overall (GC) results only, and will be 2 times the values in the table above.
For omniums, points will be scored for each individual stage only, and not for the final overall results.
Points are awarded according to the race group you ride in. The only exception to this rule is that juniors 16 and under who race category races will be scored as 17-18. If you ride in different race groups from race to race, you will accrue points in the corresponding NMRS categories. Points will NOT be combined for the overall awards.
One-day licensees and out of state riders do not accrue NMRS points, but do displace points for eligible riders.
If pros are in the SM 1-2-3 race (at the discretion of the race directors), they do not accrue NMRS points, but do displace points for eligible riders.
The following are examples of how scoring works.
