National Team Rankings

As of 5 August 2007
National team rankings are based on the ranking positions of the top five runners for a given country and are scored as for cross-country, i.e., 1 for 1st, 2 for 2nd, etc. with the low score being the best. Unlike normal cross-country scoring however, all non-scoring runners can "bump" other countries' scoring runners.
