UK Relay League 2011

[King Penguin]

I think HOC may have 3 teams in the offing

Mrs H is correct - 3 HOC teams to come (1 A, 2 B), but the guy who will be submitting the entries is a bit tied up with another event this weekend, so they will be finalised and submitted next week.

[Scott]

Who can still win? (based on the teams who have actually entered the Harvester)
Men

• ShUOC will win the League if they finish anywhere in the top 3 at the Harvester; OR if they 4th/5th and NOC do not win; OR if they finish 6th/7th and NOC finish outside the top 2
• NOC will win the League if they win the Harvester and ShUOC finish outside the top 3; OR if they finish 2nd and ShUOC finish outside the top 5
• SYO will win the League if they win the Harvester, ShUOC finish outside the top 7 and NOC finish outside the top 2
• Current leaders INT will only win the League if ShUOC finish outside the top 7 at the Harvester, NOC finish outside the top two and SYO don't win

Women - (assuming the WCOC and OD B course teams are women's teams)

• SYO will win the League if they win the Harvester; OR if they finish 2nd and beat WCOC; OR if they finish 3rd, beat WCOC, and FVO don't win; OR if they finish 4th, beat WCOC, and FVO finish outside the top 2; OR if they finish 5th, beat WCOC, FVO finish outside the top 3, and neither OD nor ShUOC win
• WCOC will win the League if they win the Harvester; OR if they finish 2nd and neither SYO nor FVO win; OR if they finish 3rd, beat SYO, and FVO don't win; OR if they finish 4th, beat SYO, and FVO finish outside the top 2
• FVO will win the League if they win the Harvester and neither SYO nor WCOC finish 2nd; OR if they are 2nd in the Harvester and both SYO and WCOC finish outside the top 3; OR if they are 3rd in the Harverster, both SYO and WCOC finish outside the top 4, and neither OD nor ShUOC win
• If FVO win and WCOC are 2nd in the Harvester, FVO and WCOC will share the League title
• OD will win the League if they win the Harvester, both SYO and WCOC finish outside the top 4, and FVO finish outside the top 2
• ShUOC will win the League if they win the Harvester, both SYO and WCOC finish outside the top 4, and FVO finish outside the top 2
• Current leaders EUOC will only win the League if SYO finish outside the top 5 at the Harvester, WCOC finish outside the top 4, FVO finish outside the top 3, and neither ShUOC nor OD win

So I hope that's all perfectly clear Let me know if you think I've made a mistake.

And sadly, I'm not actually going to be at the Harvester myself as I'm going to Slovenia.

Is there somebody who is going to the Harvester would be willing to work out the scores for the top teams on Sunday morning so that the winners can be announced? Despite how it may sound from the above, it's actually very easy by hand to do once you know the results - and you'd just need to add up new scores for about ten teams. I'll update the full league tables from some Slovenian cybercafé once the results appear online.

If anybody is able to help out then please get in touch and I'll be very grateful - sjcollier@gmail.com

Sorted now - thanks Spookster!

ShUOC will certainly be able to provide a live up to date table during the night.

[ba-ba]

Like this?

[Street]

That table is not live. Looks very dead.

[madmike]

It is in fact an ex-live table the only reason it was still on the perch.................

[AndyC]

Now having decided that the table is no longer living (and I see no evidence of woodworm) can it be described as "up to date"?

[Spookster]

The Harvester was the last race of the 2011 relay league.

In the men's league, ShUOC's 4th place at the Harvester was enough to secure them the relay league title, with SYO just edging past INT on equal points but better "count back".

In the women's league, SYO's Harvester win also won them the league, with FVO edging ahead of EUOC for 2nd thanks to their 3rd place Harvester result.

League scores (subject to checking by Scott)

Men
1. ShUOC 65
2. SYO 61
3. INT 61
4. NOC 56
5. BOK 56

Women
1. SYO 65
2. FVO 56
3. EUOC 55
4. OD 50
5. ShUOC 47

Scott apologises for lack of UK Relay League "official" update as he's currently in Slovenia and internet access is more sparse than he thought it would be. He's texted through a brief set of scores which match Spookster's above and have EUOC and FVO rounding out the top 7 on the men's, and SLOW and WCOC 6th and 7th on the women's. Presume a full update will follow when he gets the chance.

[Scott]

Results now up on the website - provisional, as I haven't checked team eligibility yet. The sums were done with pen and paper and I've made the website updates using a borrowed iPhone, so there may be errors! I'll double-check everything when I get home next week.

Thanks very much to Martin and Ian for holding the fort while I'm away.
