Revised 14/10/11 following investigation of the error on the overprinting of the Green Course An Organiser's job is always made easy when
However the arrival of the ‘travellers' put a slight wobble onto the planning of the courses which, with last minute adjustment to the courses, created confusion on the Green course with points 3 and 7 being so close together, resulted in 4 competitors being disqualified due to mis-punching and other competitors taking longer than they would have liked to complete the course. This has been a subject of an investigation in response to a ‘Complaint' from one of the competitors and the many emails, discussions and cries of ‘unfair'. SUFFOC always strives to put on a good event which is challenging but enjoyable. As the Organiser I was disappointed that a problem occurred. I have taken this matter very seriously as I needed to ensure that the results truly reflect the best Orienteerers on the day. My conclusion is that the final results as published stand as the problem did not change the relative position of the top 5 finishers nor did it affect the relative position for the purposes of the EA League results. However in recognition of the problem all Competitors affected on the Green Course shall be entitled to free entry to the next SUFFOC event. An extract from the report is below. The full report can be accessed by clicking this link <Organiser's Report - Hundred Acre Walks> Two of the controls; number 3 and 7 on the Green course, were positioned approximately 50m apart. The overprinting of the course on the map (which included the control circle and its associated sequence number) was such that the numbers of the controls ended up adjacent to the wrong circle which caused varying degrees of confusion to the competitors on the course. A complaint was raised by one of the competitors, Peter Waldron, who was disqualified as he had punched out of sequence. He thought that the results of other competitors had been changed whereas his had not, the implication being that he and two other named competitors should be reinstated. The complaint has been investigated in accordance with the BOF Rules of Orienteering. [Rule 9 and Appendix G refer]. During the course of the investigation it became apparent that competitors starting after 11:20 were informed of the ‘problem' with controls 3 and 7 and it has been suggested that this gave these competitors an advantage over the other earlier starters. Members of the EAOA on-line discussion group (John Ward, Barbara Fothergill, and Richard Barker) have suggested that the results should not be used for the East Anglian League. Although no formal complaint was raised in accordance with the BOF rules, the Organiser has extended this investigation to review the results and to determine whether the problem has adversely affected the results to the extent that either • the affected leg should be voided to put all the competitors on a level playing field or • the entire race results voided for the purposes of the EA League. The investigation has found that the problem with the overprinting caused a varying degree of confusion to the competitors ranging from apparently no effect at all with competitors finishing in the top 5 who were not aware of the problem to competitors punching out of sequence even when they were forewarned. No changes had been made to the other competitor's results with respect to mis-punching It is a requirement for competitors to punch in sequence therefore the complaint has not been upheld. The competitors shall not be reinstated. Voiding the affected leg 2 to 3 would have no effect on the relative positions of the top 5 finishers of the overall competition nor would it affect the relative positions of the finishers by age group. The published final results (with all legs included) stand and they shall be used for the EAL. Leading up to the event I was concerned that the decision by the Planner to have all of the courses on the south side of the B1084 as it meant that all the competitors had to cross the road to the start and from the finish. A road marshal was on duty but as most competitors crossed as and where they liked the marshal ended up acting as a visible warning to motorists to try to slow them down. An alternative Car Park on the same side as the courses would have been preferable. For any future events the club should think carefully as to planning an event which requires a road crossing. My next concern was people turning up to run in shorts. The requirement to have full body cover is mandated by BOF but some competitors were allowed to continue once they had agreed that to do so would be at their own risk. With temperatures hitting over 40 o C on the day heat exhaustion and dehydration were a real threat. As it transpired the heat was the least of my problems as I had to initiate a search for a late finisher. Thankfully he managed to come out of the forest under his own steam (apologies for the intended pun) but it has reemphasised the need to have in place search and rescue plans for such an incident or accident. The lack of mobile phone coverage just added to the problem of coordinating the search. REMEMBER: Make sure that you report to download by the time the course closes even if you don't complete the course, and wear a watch that works! |

The Hundred Acres Wood was originally mapped as an extension to Daisy's Wood for use by the longer courses. In seeing the map for the first time I saw opportunities for the White and Yellow courses. I therefore planned the other courses and was able to fit all courses into the area. This year in East Anglia there have been some retro events. The planning of this event was retro as both myself and the controller had problems with OCAD printing. All the first drafts of courses were drawn and measured by hand. Once I was able to use OCAD I was quite impressed as a planning tool. The original start was planned opposite the Butley Corner Public Car Park. However, three weeks before the event, Travellers returned the open area next to it requiring me to re-plan all the courses. I gave them an exclusion zone East and West of the area as marked by the Out of Bounds area. It was only when visiting the area a week before the event there was a potential risk of travellers and orienteering conflict south of the encampment. I therefore re-planned half of the courses again to avoid this area. This late planning caused the error in the numbering of Green controls 3 and 7. I apologise to all competitors who were affected by this. This is the first event I have used new SI controls. I had always assumed the advantage of using the new controls was that they did not require programming. This assumption was incorrect as they all must be synchronised to ensure they all have the same time. I did not do this and thus caused the strange splits which particularly affected the White and Yellow courses. I apologise for this and would like to thank Paul Lowe for his work in correcting this problem after the event. Thank you to Simon Peck for his map and to Louise Walker and all the SUFFOC helpers who made the event possible. |

Phew, what a scorcher! The forest was pleasant, even cool, in the early hours when the controls were being hung for the event. That did not last, and the heat of the day which increased the challenge of the longer courses, had also increased the population of spiders over the previous couple of weeks. While the webs are works of art and worthy of a considered contemplation, for those of us wanting to make more speedy progress through the woods they proved to be a sticky nuisance which sometimes gave to the runner an extra passenger of the disgruntled spider, and sometimes also of their silk-bound prey of flies. Andrew's planning preparation was seriously disrupted by the arrival of a community of travellers - their site marked as out-of-bounds on the map. A re-plan was hurriedly made, and subsequently tweaked further. This last tweak unfortunately gave rise to the confusing placement by OCAD of two adjacent control numbers on the Green maps, which escaped scrutiny and change - for which many apologies to those affected. The many blocks of forest with a distinct direction of planting presented a navigational challenge when legs ran at an angle to the tree lines. The oddly shaped husky trails were sometimes difficult to spot when they branched off a path, but they were distinctive tracks through the woodland which could proved useful features for some runners. The dry weather had kept bracken growth to less than its historic gigantism, and nettles also were not too thick - although the reduced population still packed a good sting. Thanks to the team of helpers, and particularly to Paul Lowe and his diagnostics of some difficulties with the SI kit. And well done to East Anglian League winners and those scoring well in the second round of this season's ESSOL. |
