First, there is BEST WOMAN. Back in the day there were only 2 or 3 girlies, but now there are loads, so mellifera thought it was only fair to add a women's trophy. Esp as she will probably win it.
Second, there is BEST IMPROVER. This is biggest increase in overall % finisher position. It will be a nightmare to work out, so I decided that Barley can do it. If you think you're in contention, bring a printout of your result in your previous ironman, and hand it to Carl at the booze up. DNFs count (if they quit, you beat them!)
and don't forget to sign up for the 2008 extravaganza, IM France 2008, which will be bigger and better than ever
(or maybe smaller and worse; who can say?)

The Rank system. On a points basis, where only IM distance or longer counts for points. Its not a knitting club. 1 point per IM finish. 1 bonus point for doing the extra hard ones (norseman, lanzarote and [but only if you get in by the honourable route, qualification] hawaii). 2 points for double IM finish. 3 points for Triple, 5 points for Deca. 1 bonus point for every time you win a shield or set a record (above). 1 bonus point for becoming "reasonably competent" (i.e. the first time you crack 12 hours). 1 bonus point for becoming "outstanding" (i.e. the first time you crack 10 hours). -1 point for a DNF (its not a quitting club). Note that if you miss cut off but still finish the course (even if it takes 20 hours) then you still get the point.

Boinging this with the exciting news that there are two FANTASTIC new shields to be added to this year's championship in Austria next month (well, tbh they are as crap as the other two, but there ya go)

here's my go:
best man: Mr M
best girl: Mrs Mr M
best improver: Barlos (the lanza factor!)
most piratey: meldy
anyway, surely it's your rank when you win it that counts??
best girl: Mrs Mr M
best improver: crashie
most piratey: meldy
So if Mellifera (or whoever) can beat Mr M, she gets both 'best girl' AND 'fastest'.
unless you want to be all PC and have 'fastest' and 'fastest of opposite gender to overall fastest'.
fastest pirate: Mr M
fastest girl pirate: Mrs Mr M
best improved pirate: crashie
most piratey pirate: meldy
BUGGER!
fastest girl pirate: Gumps
best improved pirate: crashie
most piratey pirate: meldy
