Thank you for taking part in the trail orienteering (and climbing that hill twice!). Although the thunder/lightning was close by thankfully we avoided all but a short shower.

However, we have had other issues to sort out. The competition was in two parts with a timeout, akin to an urban road crossing, between.  Unfortunately, we do not have a complete record of those times. The SI boxes have been interrogated and produced both times for 17 competitors and neither time for 15 competitors. The other 8 competitors had one or the other. Between 17.03 and 17.48 only 5 of 28 finishers had a time for both. (There is a complete record of Finish times and total elapsed time).

In discussion, it has been decided that for BriTOL league the PreO will be used, the second section will be void. This A/Z section involves strategy i.e. should speed or accuracy take precedence? As time information for everyone is not available it is not possible to produce a ranking including this.

The detailed results remain on the White Rose website. The choices made on the A/Z section are valid. Everyone on the same number of points after the Preo will score the same points in the league (as per the rules). However, there is one correction to make viz: Iain Phillips LEI scored 10 points in Preo.
