If there were designated selection events then why aren't all the selected competitors names up.
The list on Nopesport only goes up to M/W35. Why this cut off?
Why doesn't the EOC have a section/page on the BOF website, maintained by BOF, if need be, giving selection race details and results.
It was thanks to a hardworking regional manager that I found out all the junior names and Nopesport for the first cut of the seniors.

the same reason as the Penzance Austin Maxi Owners Club doesn't have a section/page on the BOF website - it's an entirely separate organisation and therefore should have it's own entirely separate website.
Oh, and imagine what the Scots (and quite possibly the Welsh and Irish, although they'd probably do it more quietly) would say if BOF were 'supporting' only the English!

OK, so the Penzance Austin Maxi OC (PAMOC) aren't an orienteering club after all.
I understood that the English Orienteering Council did not exist, as such, in their own right in the same way as the Scottish, Welsh and Irish. If I am wrong and they do exist why don't they have their own website with a link from BOF in the same way as the other associations.
At the moment thay appear to be some sort of secret society with a limited pathway to information release.
(A pathway which I haven't found yet.)

About the cutoff I imagine that's because it'll be the VHI type selector people that select the Vets, same as the JHI lot seem to select the juniors. That leaves the SHI lot to select the seniors.........
And the comment about the EOC site being maintained by BOF is a load of nonsense. If England functioned as it should and the EOC or other body was effective in looking after English issues then BOF could become a real Federation & look after issues that impact on the UK as a whole and not spend a large amount of it's time looking after English issues and pretending it's a UK body

Well, the EOC pages are hosted by BOF, linked off http://www.britishorienteering.org.uk/a ... ID=HOMEINT
but what a surprise, there's nothing there...

Klebe you really know how to get certain Scots going!
But if there is no obvious place to look of course English orienteers would look to BOF. Perhaps the Scots, Welsh, Irish should be patting themselves on their backs as they have funding and/or volunteers to host/create/maintain web sites. As i understand it the EOC has no independant funding that is why the athletes have to request support from their regions. THe Scots, Welsh and Irish double up as nations and regions but the English is a conglomerate of regions. A source of much soul searching for many years in different areas of O

As I said earlier..... if England was to get it's act together then the 4 Home Nations would be reality & BOF could be a real Federation for the UK. Is England a nation in it's own right or is it just a collection of counties?

You might end up thinking that someone has taken notice of this thread ...
England senior selection policy, including selectors names, is now up on the BOF website - latest news story.

it seems theres quite a lot of reaction from BOF these days to issues that come up on nopesport, the last issue of focus certainly contained plenty I thought (the day in the life thing, the piece about proper channels for complaints about events etc). Keep up the good work.

Not in Orienteering is it? I thought SOA was one region if not why do they compete as such in JIRCS?
Always seemed a little odd that the teams for Scotland and Wales and probably NI are the same (or nearly) for JIRCS and JHI's. On this basis any English region that wins has beaten a National side I believe.
