Event Write-Up

By

"Extra! Extra! Summer Series 2 Delights and Amazes!"

We had a hugely successful event at Evergreen Valley College. About 150 orienteers ran courses under a bright and shining sun, with pleasant temperatures.

Congrats to our course winners! The full results are available below.

Werner Haag, the Course Setter, asked me to include an apology for misplacing control 9 on the Long course and some minor map inaccuracies. We didn't void the course because, despite the inaccuracies, our intrepid group of problem solvers largely finished the course nonetheless without too much time lost.

Thanks to Werner for making the map and setting the courses, Graham Brew for all the event directing help (and guidance getting the permit!), and our all-star volunteer crew. With so many volunteers going above and beyond, we cleaned up in record time and were out of there before 3 PM (which was very much appreciated). Rock on!

Other volunteers included:

E-Punch: Jeff Lanam
Set up: Parag Gupta, Kat Lan, Werner Haag
Registration: Steve Haas, Emily Ellsworth
Pre-registration: Sarah Williams
Beginner clinics: Dan Greene, Julia Doubson
Starts: Kat Lan, Rex Winterbottom
Control pick-up: Parag Gupta, Kat Lan
Take down: Marie-Josée Parayre, François Léonard, Kat Lan, Rex Winterbottom
Refreshments: Brian

The Registration team thanks a scout leader who helped get the credit-card reader connected to the Internet, and thus useable!

Thanks to all the participants, and I'll see you out there next time.

Also see control-by-control timing in the WinSplits results (http://www.obasen.nu/winsplits/online/en/show_event.asp?id=98410) and on Attackpoint (https://www.attackpoint.org/eventdetail.jsp/event_58131).

You can see the event map with the actual routes traveled by participants, and draw your own route for comparison, in RouteGadget for this event (http://baoc.org/gadget/cgi/reitti.cgi?act=map&id=540). (Use of RouteGadget is explained here.)

In RouteGadget, you can enter your route manually or upload a GPS recording and adjust to fit our map. The following tips apply to the GPS method.
RouteGadget Tip #1: After selecting your GPX file, make sure to adjust the time offset between starting your watch at the Start line and leaving the Start Triangle. The offset can have a significant impact on your route accuracy. For most local events, the offset should be set to 0 as we start from the triangle (assuming you started your watch exactly when you started).
RouteGadget Tip #2: After uploading your GPS track to RouteGadget, you can create additional blue adjustment points by right-clicking your track. You can use these points to better align your route with the map, for example, along trails. You can delete extra adjustment points by right-clicking them.

Please tell Jeff Lanam () and the webmasters () if anything needs to be changed.

2024 Summer Series Results

Hi All, Thanks to everyone who came out to Evergreen Valley College (EVC) to run on our brand new map. And thanks to Werner, Brian, and all the volunteers who made the event a success. Below are the Summer Series Points earned at EVC, and the resultant series standings so far. Great to see some new names in the results — I did not get birth years for all of you. There is a list at the bottom of this email of missing birth years — let me know if you have any information to fill in the gaps. And let me know if there are any questions, comments, or corrections on any of the scores.

A word about the scores for the Event Director and Course Setter. For all events in the Series, the ED and CS will get points for that event equal to their highest scoring event of the summer. (That is why some of the CS/ED are listed as TBD so far — because they have not run in an event yet.) This is a great way to boost your points quickly, and we are still looking for these volunteers for event #5 up in Tahoe. Let me know if you want to volunteer and grab these easy points!

As a reminder, the final Summer Series standings will be based on your best four of the six events. So, even if you have missed one or two events, you could still win! The third event in the series is in just over two weeks: July 7th in Pleasant Hill. The Diablo Valley College campus is great fun, and fast but challenging routes choices are assured. Looking forward to seeing you there.
