S6D Run-in Competition?

[Mrs H]

Is there going to be one this year or shall I stand the team down?

[madmike]

stand down Mr H at the very least after what happened last time

[Mrs H]

Young Neville says he's got to find a job and isn't coming to Scotland which is a bit sad - I'm consoling myself with all the food I won't have to buy and cook

[HarryO]

I assume this is what is says on the packet - the fastest time from last control to finish? I suppose this must mean that all events have the same last control?
Is this the same as the Golden Boot I have read about elsewhere?

[madmike]

That's right HarryO.

Young Neville (fastest 190m sprinter in Sheffield) would definitely have been the bookies' favourite. With the favourite not running it will will be more interesting - perhaps Mharky as the new favourite.

To work best all courses should have a common last control, and that's usually the case at the S6D. Then you just sum up the run-in times from the 6 days (or devise another way of scoring it).

The Golden Boot is the run-in competition at the CompassSport Cup Final. Young Neville was joint winner last year .

As madmike suggests, young Neville is pretty quick over 190m. Unfortunately the race he entered was 200m...

for my closed club we use a tour de france sprinters points method. 25 for fastest, 22 for 2nd then, 18, 14 12.......

Winner being one with most points at end of Day 6 - the leader does have a green o top to run in as well.

How about Gross as joint favourite with Mharky? - as long as the run in does not extend further than 60m.

[Tatty]

Mharky's not entered

[madmike]

Wide open then

[Big Jon]

"Wide open then" - are you implying Gross is wide?.......in either sense of the word

[Gross]

"Wide open then" - are you implying Gross is wide?.......in either sense of the word

Just coz you used to be regularly gubbed

[madmike]

i think there are only 2 orienteers in the country I can call wide without being a complete hypocrite

Gross isn't one of them
