JK Relay

[madmike]

you may be right there 88, but you might also get less teams overall in the trophy if superteams can form as they like. I wonder how big the ad-hoc can get?

[mharky]

I resent the implication that ShUOC can compete with EUOC...

[Jon X]

Men's entries to date (another 10 days before relay entries close)
JK Trophy 34 teams
Senior Men (i.e. M120+) 49 teams

Both of these are due to be on the same course with the same mass start - 83 teams so far on the Men's relay may not exactly be Jukola but it is definitely a step in the right direction!

Now if those 50 teams on the Men's Short would just change their entries to Men's Open too.....

Baiting again. If you were talking women maybe but mens well. It depends if they run for club or Uni.

[mharky]

Well, everyone has to run for their universities at BUCS...

Dear Hocolite, please see BUCS thread...

compete against SYO / SHUOC/ EUOC.

I can think of a club that will compete with the EUOC boys.

... only if it gets a better first leg runner than it had last year.

was wondering when someone was going to mention this, pretty much got a decent woc relay team in there somewhere...

Since the "Short" course has not been scrapped why do we not run the JK Open on the "Short Course"?

The JK Open has already been shortened and to be fair it's not the length that matters (ask my wife ) it's the competition. I think it would be easier to convince the "Open" Teams to run the short course rather than convince the "Short Course" runners to run the open!!!

great, good luck to INT, but doesn't change the point i was making

Nope, you were wrong before, and you still are

1. To be competitive in classes A to M all runners must be in the
same club (UK or overseas), except in classes A and B where the
UK Relay League Neighbouring Clubs Alliances guideline applies.

Curiously, INT have 4 BRC wins and no JKs, while EUOC have 4 JK trophies and no BRCs

Probably got something to do with term dates, distances to travel - EUOC haven' t made a club trip to the British in the last couple of years

[andypat]

I like the implication that if they had INT's stats might be worse! I'm sure Graeme will be at his PC now flicking through the previous records to prove otherwise! Personally I think theres some sort of pot sharing conspiracy going on.......

I see both have entered the JK and neither the British so far. May the best men win (I suppose its possible that neither will of course).

[Failing Eyesight]

What are the chances that we ever see a mens team/club win 4 JK relays in a row again ?... I note that SYO ladies have achieved that feat recently and apart from a blip in 2008 they may have been on for 7 this year !!!

Who knows - maybe BOK will start their revival again
