2011 Golden Goat and Golden Kid

Camp Tamarancho
Fairfax, CA
Sunday, December 11, 2011


On the Golden Goat and Golden Kid, each participant ran one of two butterfly variations (A or B) and was allowed to skip one control with a code 100 or above. The results below indicate which variations the participants ran and which controls they skipped. If you see the notation "B11", for example, that means variation B was run and the 11th control was skipped.

Since there were many valid paths through the Golden Goat and Golden Kid courses, WinSplits Online was not able to display split comparisons in the way it usually does. But those splits can be viewed here (http://www.obasen.nu/winsplits/online/en/show_event.asp?id=19468).

For the Golden Goat, the "Points" column indicates the number of new Golden Goat Lifetime Points each person earned this year. The updated Lifetime Points table is available in this file (PDF/90KB). Some comments about this year's Lifetime Points results are below. (Corrections to the Lifetime Points table can be sent to .)

Note About Times

A couple very serious problems with e-punch cropped up at the event:
  1. The clock used to launch the mass start was not synchronized with the clocks inside the control units.
  2. The e-punch reader could not be synchronized with any other components of the system.
This precipitated considerable chaos. If you tracked your running time on your watch, you might have noticed that your own watch time was 2 or 3 minutes faster than the running time shown on your e-punch splits tag. You might have also noticed a bogus time of exactly 6 minutes for your first split. Both these problems have been corrected in the results below.
To make a long story short, the mass start time was redefined as 10:14:25 AM instead of 10:12:00 AM, and all the results were recomputed. Sorry for any confusion or heartache this might have caused.

You can see the event map with the actual routes traveled by participants, and draw your own route for comparison, in RouteGadget (introduction; this event (http://baoc.org/gadget/cgi/reitti.cgi?act=map&id=274)). For the Goats the animation looks great! Take a look. RouteGadget handles Goats, Score-O's, butterfly loops, etc. nicely, since it has an option to use splits to determine the order in which each competitor visited the controls. In a way, each competitor makes their own course. (You can see other RouteGadget events worldwide here (http://www.routegadget.net).)
