NRCD Power Rankings
Pure analytics from race results — a virtual national meet from each team’s best marks season-to-date (through the selected date). Clubs stay ranked even if they did not race that week. Not a coaches poll. Compare with the CRC Coaches Poll.
How it works
- Each board is season-to-date: best marks from the season start through the selected Monday — teams do not need to race every week to stay ranked.
- XC: each athlete’s best mark in-window is converted to championship distance (8k men / 6k women), then scored like a national XC meet (top 5 place score; runners 6–7 displace). With Adjust for race conditions on (default), weather, elevation, and measured length apply first; turn it off to convert posted marks to championship distance only. Open How scored on a row for that team’s place, name, time, and points. The avg top 5 column is that championship-equiv average.
- Indoor / outdoor: NIRCA-style 10–8–6–5–4–3–2–1 place points across running, relays, and field. Running marks convert across distances when possible; relays and field use each team/athlete’s best mark in that event. Race-condition adjust (default on) normalizes venue/weather where details exist; off uses posted marks. Open How scored on a row for that team’s event-by-event points. Indoor meets only on the indoor board; outdoor meets only on outdoor.
- XC marks Aug 1+, boards Sep 1–Nov 15. Indoor Dec 1–Mar 15. Outdoor marks Jan 1+, boards Apr 1–May 15.
XC scoring distance: 8000m (8k). Conversion riegel-v4.
