Re: ESOA Mens Open Champion
I can spot a trick question when I see one, so obviously no one in the top ten.
I need a little more information about each competitor before hazarding a guess:
1. Country of birth
2. Years resident in Scotland
3. Year of birth
4. Any second claim clubs
5. Region registered through for BO membership
6. Sex at birth
7. And, of course, whether they ran for Hungary at WOC
Go on then Graeme, tell us the answer and the reasons why those ahead weren't eligible.

None of that information was either available from the entry form, or used to determine eligibility.
And sex at birth is illegal, at least in Scotland.

Shouldn't that read, 'even in Scotland.'

Re: ESOA Mens Open Champion
No one.
Four M21s, from England, a West of Scotland club, and two closed (university) clubs with presumably no membership of open clubs in the ESOA area.
Edit: Based on http://www.rstrain.ndtilda.co.uk/ESOAC_ ... ses_15.pdf it would appear that 1st place, 9th place and 11th place are eligible.
Edit 2: If the M20s are not "running up" (because it's the same course as their own M20 championship) then there is only one eligible person - the 11th place.

Stop talking, start running.

Also 7th, 15th, 16th, 17th & 18th.
It would be 2nd as Richard Purkis is also an member of EUOC, but AutoDownload defaults to the club registered with British Orienteering.Angry Haggis wrote:Edit 2: If the M20s are not "running up" (because it's the same course as their own M20 championship) then there is only one eligible person - the 11th place.

Well, the trophy is engraved continuously back for 50 years, with some impressive names including world champions. How many other UK races care enough to have kept such a record for so long?

I can confirm Richard has now graduated and so isn't technically a EUOC member.

EUOC is allowed to have non-student members, but I'm not sure whether Richard actually re-joined or not.

Re: ESOA Mens Open Champion
As the entry form clearly states an M20 who is a member of EUOC is eligible for the M21 championship, I hold the outrageous view that the M21 champion should be the person who successfully completed this course in the shortest time.

Is there a prize for the person who works out who won the prize?
