How do you rank dens against each other when there are different numbers of boys in each? Our Bear and Wolf dens are quite large but our Web I den only had four boys race this year.

You read my mind Randy!
Yup, and GPR can spit that all out, can't it?
Last year, we had to do the Math with pen & paper to calculate all the dens' times.

And yes, average time. total race times divided by total racers. Every run by every racer counts.

If scoring by Times, GPRM does provide Team Standings reports, computed by average time. Off the top of my head, I do think that it will throw out each racers worst time, if that option was selected in the Software Options screen.

We'll be sure to NOT throw out the worst time and compute out the Team Standings.

Should be fun, since this makes the 2nd year they race den vs den. Race is this Saturday, will post results and hopefully pix.

That can easily be turned off/on at any time. You can have it on to view the standings for your regular speed awards and turn it off to generate the team standings report.
