I started quoting, but instead I'll just do one big post about PoT for all
This is based on 2018 info: as always, it is subject to change in 2019...
Marathon, Goofy Dopey:
IF YOU ARE ENTERING AN ESTIMATED FINISH TIME
FASTER THAN 5:30: you
must enter Proof of Time (PoT) to support that finish time. The McMillan Running calculator has been found to come very close to whatever formula runDisney/TrackShack uses, so it's a good reference to see what your half-marathon or 10-miler time will equate to in a marathon (because it's
not just doubling.
) If you enter an estimated finish time that requires PoT and you fail to enter Pot, or you enter a PoT that does not support your estimated finish time, you will be placed in the last corral.
IF YOU ENTER AN ESTIMATED FINISH TIME OF 5:30
OR SLOWER: you do
not need to enter PoT, entering PoT will not put you in a better corral, and you won't automatically be placed in the last corral. You will be placed according to your estimated finish time. So a 5:40 est finish will go in the 5:40 corral, a 6:10 est finish will go in the 6:10 corral, and so on. No one looks at PoTs for estimated finish times slower than 5:30, so there is simply no reason to submit one.
