RSGB Affiliated Societies Super League - Winter 2018-19 | ||||
The Super League rewards societies who field teams operating both above and below 30MHz: the winning society will have consistently achieved high places in all of the events, without necessarily winning any one of them. A new trophy was donated by the Hadley Wood Contest Group in 2013, for the winners of the Super League. To encourage clubs to enter in all seven contests, the Contest Committees award a Certificate of Achievement. This requires a certain amount of organisation in finding members with a variety of locations and skills, but is a reachable goal for an active club. |

The results of seven AFS

3. Calculation |
The position of the Team or Club listing for each Affiliated Society
entering any of the seven
contributing contests will be normalised to produce Super League Points
(SLPs), which are then added together to produce an overall SLP score.
The normalisation is carried out according to the following formula,
with the result rounded to the nearest integer: SLP = (N+1-P)*1000/N where N is total number of teams in the results table, and P is the position of the team in the results table. For example, if there are 50 teams entering the event (N=50), the team in first position (P=1) would receive 1000 SLPs. The team in 50th position (P=50) would receive 20 SLPs. The team in 26th position (P=26) would receive 500 SLPs Where a single club has more than one team entering any of the seven AFS contests, only the SLPs from the club's top-scoring team for that contest will be included in the Super League table, contributing towards the overall Super League score. Please note that the allocation of entrants to teams, in cases where a club enters more than four stations in a contributing contest, is carried out automatically by Contest Committee software. |

4. Results | The winner of the Super League is the club with the highest total of SLPs at the end of the seventh contributing contest. The maximum possible SLP score (if a club won all seven events) would be 7000 SLPs. A running SLP total will be provided on the Contest Committees' web site after the scores for each event are published. | |||
The winner of the Super
League will receive the Hadley Wood Contest Group Trophy.
Certificates will also be
presented to the Affiliated Societies
achieving 2nd and 3rd positions in the Super League. Each
team member contributing to these Society's scores will receive a
certificate. |

The decisions of the RSGB Contest Committees in relation to the AFS Super League are final. | ||||
