Next to no results from Sunday on BO website

[Tim]

Is it just coincidence, but of the 7 events held on Sunday, as of Thursday afternoon, only 1 has posted results to the BO website and these were posted very quickly on Sunday. Is something up with the website?

Nothing wrong with the website.

Of the 7 events, 5 were Level D, and many clubs don't post Level D results on the BO results page (for various reasons, such as them not being ranking events, and perhaps not using electronic punching and results, etc). Of the remaining two, one was Level C (results uploaded), and one was Level B (results not uploaded).

It's up to the club to upload the results, and it's up to the people who ran to give the club a gentle nudge if they seem to have forgotten to do so. Since you nearly won Brown, perhaps you'd better give GO a nudge!

Just coincidence then. I have to confess to a childish impatience to know how many ranking points I got. I should just relax.

I, along with 80 others, went to INVOC's Level D on Sunday. Excellent training event on tough terrain, organised by a family from the back of their van. No computers, just one of their juniors printing out splits and recording times on a clip board. They have lives to lead and I'm sure they will get round to typing up the results at some point. It was a Level D and that's OK by me.

The BOF results system is an excellent facility for clubs that want to use it. Uploading Level D events means that our developing orienteers get their runs included for the incentive scheme (another fine example of "What the Romans have done for us"). That is why my club puts all our events on there.

But as Martin clearly recognises, dictating to clubs what they must do at their Level D events is not on. Good courses on good maps with the controls in the right place does me fine. As you sayTim, just relax.

I've had to remind some clubs of the need to upload Level C events to the database - Level D is a bridge far too far for them.
