Please also remember that use of Quantum Teleportation to pass from one side of an uncrossable boundary to the other is forbidden.

Ah but on your own logic a quantum particle exists on both sides of the boundary simultaneously - so it never crossed it

[Glucosamine]

If quantum particles are indistinguishable, then there is not much point racing ...

Exactly - crossing wouldn't actually occur and hence current Urban O rules wouldn't be broken, hence I felt the need for a rule clarification. Of course I should have put "pass" in quotes.

This is rapidly turning into a script for The Big Bang Theory...

But surely once you attempt to punch the wavefunction collapses, and the control is definitely on one side or the other?

[andypat]

No, pretty sure that only applies to cats...

and probably the other side to you

No - Murphy's Law doesn't apply at the quantum level - it is too "certain", and Heisenberg's principles preclude it.

Enough of this quantum stuff: back to reality.

The courses have just had a successful test-run from a beaming W21E. (And I mean smiling, not travelling at 0.99c.) She did pretty well but didn't spot all of the best routes. Can you do better?

The Facebook events page might give you some clues.

Anyone know if the second start window is using allocated times, chasing start or something else?

Looking forward to this one!

Hi,
The start times for the first race are from 11:00 to 12:00. The start times for the second race are from 13:30 to 14:30 and the starting order will be based upon race A results, with the fastest in each class starting last.

Closing date for entries is this coming weekend - midnight on Sunday 18 August.

The final details should be available soon on TVOC's website and on the Facebook event page - https://www.facebook.com/events/530539380342255/ - don't forget to say you're coming on the event page! (and you'll then get automatic notification when the final details are on there).
