Tue, Feb 19, 2019 - By Mike Muha
Team NordicSkiRacer continues to lead the Brumbaugh Cup competition as the most powerful team, with 960 points after this past weekend's Forbush Freestyle and Hanson Hills Classic. But Hanson Hills / Cross Country Ski Shop is closing in, just 13 points behind. In third is the Vasa Ski Club with 1,212 points.
The Brumbaugh Cup is a team scored competition with each designated race counting each team’s top 5 senior male skiers and top 3 senior female skiers. It is scored like a cross-country running event with first place receiving 1 point; down through the max of 35 male skiers (7 teams x 5 skiers) and 21 female skiers (7 teams x 3 skiers). The lowest point total wins each race and the lowest point total of all designated races wins the Brumbaugh Cup. The designated Brumbaugh races include those races where there is a single Michigan Cup points paying event.
