Example: If your coed team has 10 members and you have 5 female team members that have faster times than any male member, the slowest female time is not considered in scoring and the first male member’s time is used in the team calculation. The same for males, we will use only the 3 fastest male times, the next 2 times to be used in the calculation must be female.
