The race against the all-time records

4 within 25 points, and the year is not over.

The programme publishes the best scores in its whole history. Crossing them with whoever leads this year says what no single table says: how far there is to go.

The race by country

11 countries have already beaten their all-time record. And in 15 the gap is 25 points or fewer.

The programme also publishes the best score in each country's history. Crossing it with whoever leads there this year gives 96 races instead of the 6 for the global classes — and that is the one a club can actually win.

A low country record does not mean this year is exceptional: it means that country has hardly ever had entrants. When the one chasing the record IS the one who holds it, the row is not about a contest: it says they are below their own best year. It happens in 10 of these races. 12 countries with entrants have no published country record —Spain and the United States among them— so they are not here. It is not that nobody competes there: there is nothing to compare against.
