The Joan Samuelson Quandry

[pstewart]

Joan Samuelson, 52, was the first runner 40-and-over to cross the line at this year's Credit Union Cherry Blossom. I am looking for feedback about what awards people think she should get. For purposes of this post "Masters means 40-49 or 40-and-over, and "GrandMasters" means 50-59 or 50-and over.

If your event does not offer "Grandmasters" prize money, but does offer Aasters money, does she win the Masters Prize money only?

If your event offers Grandmasters money, does she win both the masters money and the Grandmasters money?

If she had earned open prize money, would you have paid her open money only?

Open and masters money?

Open, masters and grandmasters money?


What award(s) would you give her at the awards ceremony?

Do you have a double-dipping policy?
