Top area - just been in it and the forest is looking good - vegetation pretty much flattened and leaves on trees not fully out. I just hope its warmer on the day of the SOC!

[Electrocuted]

Don't forget that entries for both the World Ranking Event Individual day and the relay day (part of the UK relay league) close on Sunday.

Don't miss this opportunity to run on a fantastic classic area - the first time it has been used since the JK in 2000.

[Fat and Forty]

Watch out for stray walkers in Kinloch Rannoch on Saturday & Sunday. The breakfast stop for the LDWA 100mile walk is at Kinloch Rannoch (61 miles) Start is at Dunkeld on Saturday morning. Not sure how many O areas we will go through, certainly Loch Ordie and Drummond Hill.

[Jethro]

Ther is also a Farm Sale very close to Kinloch Rannoch on the Saturday which could cause extra traffic.

Yes it'll be very busy at the Farm Sale. The Kinloch Rannoch Monitor says they're expecting a large 'turnip' at it.

I've been looking for the start lists on the event website, and sort of stumbled into the lists on the Oentries site. Did I miss an announcement about this, or are the start lists going to be posted on the event site later?

[AndyO]

Oops! just got an email from Oentries advising the start lists now available. A lot of changes to course numbers etc though.

[Electrocuted]

Start times were uploaded and e-mail sent a few minutes later. No doubt if we had done it the other way around we would have received e-mails asking where the starts were.

Thanks to Jon Cross for doing the elite course seedings on his blackberry on the Isle of Mull.

I have now been staring at the same spreadsheet for 15 hours and am off to find a bottle of wine.

So all the other classes haven't been seeded then, even though it's a National Event?

Doesn't look like it, but there's still time for the organisers to get it right.

Appendix L states 4 minutes apart for anyone with a ranking, which is 16's and above. Younger juniors have fewer on their courses they could start 4 minutes apart as well. Appendix L also suggests extending the start period or creating additional courses if there's too many entered.

Some people are only 2 minutes apart from their nearest rival which is highly likely to influence the results.

It was actually an innocent query, Electrocuted, as there was no information on the website to say where or when start lists would be published, or if they would come out by post with Final Details before the event. I don't have a problem with the information - I am not likely to threaten the class leaders, so don't even have a personal interest in the seeding debate - but a wee note to say how the start lists would be issued would have helped.

Elite classes were seeded in terms of IOF rules.

Junior classes were seeded in terms of new BOF guidelines, which came with a list of M/W 14 - M/W 20 who should be seeded.

All other classes have now been seeded.

4 minute start intervals would be ideal, but not possible with the large number of people requesting split starts and late starts and with large entries on certain courses.

Good area, good map, and some well planned courses both days. Very enjoyable two days of top quality orienteering, thanks!
