30R20

[MPx]

OK...we've got there.
I did 399 strokes in 20 mins with 2 min splits and got r20 in every split and an r20 overall result.
I did 399 strokes in 20 mins with 1 min splits and got r20 in 19 splits, an r19 in the last split and an r19 overall result.

So we now know:
19.5 rounds up not down.
You can "game" the system as long as at least one complete split is in your target range...all the others can be +1.

What we don't know:
What happens with mixed splits, both + and -.

I'm going to speculate that it takes a simple average of split results and rounds down. But I don't think I can be bothered to prove it one way or the other. I think its clear it has nothing to do with the total number of strokes over the time of the piece. For now I'm just basking in the glory of getting an r19 result from just 1 stroke off a large r20 multiple

This is so bad
The exact same workout provides different outcomes only by selecting different splits? Even worse than I thought...

that makes no sense!!!

And it would mean you can set up a 30r20 with 30 splits, do 29 at r21 and the last one on r20 to get an overall of r20? So get a PM5 average of 20 for 629 strokes...
I really don't get the math behind that!

Yep. That was my starting assertion, but I didn't know then that it had to be done with specific splits. Its what Cam Buchan openly took advantage of on his 9k 30r20.

Now it makes even more sense that I ask to define the rate also for the splits in internal team challenges
Up to now it only applies to individual intervals, but it would also make sense to pre-define the splits to use and their rate!
