We were blessed with great weather and lots of varied terrain (for a park!). My apologies to the runners who found the Orange leg 2 too much of a challenge.

Thanks to Jeff Colbert for helping with putting out controls in time for a prompt start..

EMIT usage at OD Local (C5) Events Version of 051110

EMIT should be used wherever possible. (See attached list of areas suitable/not suitable for EMIT usage –to be provided).

The organiser should ensure that he/she charges the printer(s) overnight before using them. The printers should also be checked to ensure that they have enough paper and/or that a spare printer roll is available.

Competitors choose their course, pay and take a map and the relevant course description sheet.

Unless they are using their own e-card, competitors are issued with a hired e-card at no additional cost. The organiser records each entry on a form pre-printed with EMIT card numbers available for loan. On the form, against the number of the card to be issued, other columns are provided for NAME, CLASS, CLUB, COURSE, START TIME (only indicative), ELAPSED TIME, CARD RETURNED. A second sheet with the same columns but blank EMIT number is used for owned cards. Competitors who are not members of a club should be asked to complete a standard registration slip giving contact information.

Notices should be displayed indicating that there will be a charge of £40 if a hired e-card is not returned.

Competitors start times are only indicative: EMIT starts timing when they punch the start control (which also clears the e-card). After a competitor finishes, they hand the e-card to the organiser who downloads it on the EMIT unit connected to a printer. The splits printout goes to the competitor, after elapsed time has been written on the entry sheet. If a hired card this is then retained and ticked on the form.

This system provides a record of COMPETITORS, that they have returned, also that CARDS have been returned. The indicative start time can also be used to see if competitors have been out a long time. If there are problems with results the EMIT download brick can be interrogated for times/punches etc. It is also possible to use a second download unit and printer, and for the organiser to retain a copy of the splits in order to check for correct punching.

The organiser needs to ensure that all kit, especially e-cards and control units, is reconciled with what was issued, before returning it to the equipment officer.

Results can be prepared in Excel or Word by using the completed form which now contains elapsed times and/or by matching the e-card number on the splits printout to the name data on the entry form. Results should be sent to the webmaster within forty-eight hours.
