MSC & WP Results Mashup (a.k.a. VCC)

The two largest racing series in Colorado are going to be virtually mashed together to create a virtual Tour of Colorado. Real results from each of the races are going to be used to crown the VCC (Virtual Colorado Cup) champion.

Both series host some of the best riders from Colorado and both reward champions based on overall performance. But which champion is better? Which rider attended more races? Where am I going with this? That is why I created the VCC.

What is the VCC?

This series isn't to be taken seriously, but I thought it would be fun to mash the results from each of the races in the series to provide an overall leader in the state or a VCC champion.

I'm still working on the details of how I'm going to do this, but I'll have some preliminary results up in the next couple days. If you see ways to improve on what I'm doing, feel free to let me know. Otherwise, this is what is planned.

The VCC is based on 16 races from both Mountain States Cup and Winter Park. I plan to mash the results into a single Tour and see which pro is getting it done in Colorado.
