1. To encourage Savages members to increase their participation at Road Races, Time Trials and Cross Country events, and to compete against yourself, amongst your fellow runners.
2. To rewards members who are consistently participating in this League through a quantitative points system, which will also allow your Savages Awards evening to include a few more than just the Comrades runners.
3. To grow our Savages' presence in KZN by having more of our members present at all three of these types of events, providing active "marketing" for our Club.

1. Attendance Points awards:
   Members are awarded points for attending selected events during the year. Members are required to attend a minimum number of events across all categories in order to automatically earn the corresponding attendance awards. Please see the schedule below of selected events available for participation.
   More members are encouraged to attend the Time Trial League and Cross Country Leagues, therefore the higher weighting. A member can "manipulate" his Attendance points by attending the least amount of Running races i.e. 4 x 20 points to qualify for the league, but then go and attend all the Cross Country events i.e. 9 x 40, which will earn him / her 360 points, and he / she must then just attend the minimum Time Trial events to be able to be in contention for winning the Savages Incentive League!
   
   
2. Performance Points awards:
   Members will earn 10 points for every minute (Road Race) or 30 seconds (Time Trial and Cross Country) that he or she improves their time by against their times at that race in the previous year. If the member did not run that race in the preceding year, the "Points Adjudicator" (Nandus) will obtain the member's time results for a similar race in the last 12 months. If the member has not run this event or similar in the past, they will score their "best" time yet and score 10 points. Only on the next race can the member improve on his/her times. If a member is slower at the next race over the same distance he/she will lose 1 point for every 1 minute (Road Running) or 30 seconds (TT or Cross Country) that they are slower.

1. You are required to participate in the minimum number of events per category:
   Road Races - minimum 4 of 14 specified events
