WOA OY SERIES -

SUMMARY for Planners and Controllers

Back to: WOA OY

Courses are to be set in accordance with the WOA OY Series OY Rules.

Results should be sent to me immediately after the event in MSWord or Excel format to me; preferably by email - they should be in my hands by the following weekend. These results must be accurate, are for the calculation of OY points, but may be published on this web site.

The Controller/Organiser of the event is responsible to get event results to the WOA Punch Editor. You should not delay sending results to me until you get them tidied up for publication.

Results must be accurate (please check times and other details) and make sure you include ALL details - including length of each course and the climb. These are required in order to give guidance to future course setters in similar terrain and to revise the guidelines from time to time. See a guide to course lengths.

In order to process the results, competitor details must include the FULL NAMES, state M or W, and CLUB as recorded on the clip card. Event organisers are to check competitors clip card details, before they start their course. Competitors who enter incorrect classes will not have their results processed for OY points.

Please ensure that a copy of the WOA OY Series Rules the Courses, and Complaint Procedures are displayed at the event.

From the OY Rules, highlight the Course Table and copy and paste this into MSWord. Insert your own course lenghts in place of the guidelines and there you have it for display at the event.

Do the same for the complaints procedure.

Setters must make their own judgement of the appropriate length for Course 1 (red long) according to the map terrain etc - See a guide to course lengths.

Final courses should be within +/- 3% of the guidelines. Most criticism about course lengths in the past, has been when planners have chosen to depart from the guidelines.

Planners and Controllers should check the NZOF Guidelines for technical difficulty of courses.
