start times for classes on the same course

[greywolf]

If two classes run the same course, shouldn't this be organised in such a way as to prevent two people running the same course starting at the same time?

It is (usually)

I started at pretty much the same time at Cat Taylor (On Green) on Day 1 and we were together for all of about 2 seconds.

And it must be only about 10 years ago when she would have been struggling to stay with you Sunlit

I did an event on Darnaway 2 years ago and I wasn't allowed to start my brown course because the minute before me someone had started on the green and we had the same first control...

So now I know what is being referred to.

Apparently M18L and M50L are running the same course (although one is on a 1:10,000 map and one on 1:7,500). Competitors in each class sometimes start on the same minute.

This is not good practice. Surely they should, at the very least, have a different first control? Bart did enjoy burning off a few old men today though...

Now this is common knowledge I expect the M18's will be looking closely at the M50 start list.

I expect the M18's will be looking closely at the M50 start list.

and vice versa just as long as the youngsters don't decide they'd rather have a bigger scale map, I don't know how many spares they have...
