Montrail has posted their new race schedule, rules and scoring system for the 2009-10 race year. Some of the highlights:

1. The race schedule has been expanded to include 11 different events, adding new races such as the Banderas 100k, Cheaha 50k, and the Where's Waldo 100k.
2. Western States slots will only go to the top 2 men/women at race, and only at races of 50 miles or longer.
   
3. Scoring will now be based on finishing time vs place.
4. You only need to run two races to be in the running, and your best 4 count towards your score. Western States is no longer a required race to compete for the grand prizes.
   
5. Still has mega-cash prizes for the top winners.

See their Web site for more details. You do need to register before any races to get points, so be sure to do it if you are interested. It starts with the Where's Waldo 100k in just a few weeks. Wanna get stoked? Check out their promo video.
