Event Write-Up

By

Great to see everyone out in the sun and enjoying the fast courses at Evergreen Valley College. A super mix of experienced and newer competitors. Everyone I spoke to had a great time. One of the wonderful things about being the Event Director is seeing how the whole Club and all the volunteers pull together to make days like this happen so smoothly. And in doing so, bring so much joy and value to the membership. We should all be very appreciative of everyone involved!

First and foremost, a huge thank you to Werner Haag who undertook all the course setting, vetting, printing, and map corrections (and fake boulder production!). Werner made great use of the interesting campus architecture and the surrounding parkland. (The Club goal is to remap the campus more thoroughly for events here in the future.)

Second of all, a huge thank you to Phil Lacroute and John Blakken on E-punch. Both Phil and John are relatively new to E-punch, and they handled everything superbly. Thanks also to Jeff Lanam for helping digitally from afar, and Rex Winterbottom for being on standby as needed.

The registration crew of Sarah Williams, Steve Haas, Kat Lan, Emily Ellsworth, Dennis Wildfogel, assisted by George Minarik, kept the competitors flowing in freely. Julia Doubson and Nick Corsano held beginner clinics. Julia also took the last shift at starts, taking over from Scott Aster, who had taken over from Valencia Li and Werner. Valencia, Werner, and James Arthurton all handled assembly setup and teardown, too — and assisted with refreshments.

Control (and fake boulder!) pickup was swiftly handled by Werner, Scott Aster, Steve Haas, Tapio Karras, and Nick Corsano. With Steve Haas and Chuck Spalding handling the equipment transfer for the next meet. Chuck, as ever, was also instrumental in all the website updates, and Tapio will be managing the RouteGadget uploads. Sincere apologies if I missed anyone from this list, please let me have any corrections.

And with that, on to the scores!

Also see control-by-control timing in the WinSplits results (http://www.obasen.nu/winsplits/online/en/show_event.asp?id=106773) and on Attackpoint (https://www.attackpoint.org/eventdetail.jsp/event_58989).

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=563). (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, you should set the offset 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.

A big thank you to Graham and Werner for a very fun event, and to all the volunteers who helped out! I’d especially like to thank John Blakkan for helping me at the E-Punch table, and Jeff Lanam who answered lots of questions while he is in Spain. This was my first time setting up E-punch for an event and collecting results, so please let me know if there is anything that needs to be corrected.

Please tell Phil Lacroute () and the webmasters () if anything needs to be changed.

2025 Summer Series Results 

Unlike The Tahoe events, I'm thankful the scoring here was very straightforward! The courses yielded a great mix of ages and genders at the top of the tables. There is still all to run for as we go into the last event of the Summer Series (and the stage is set for a possible, and exceedingly rare, tie for the winner of the Short competition!). Lots of churn throughout both tables as the "best four scores" rule really starts to kick in now.

Any questions, comments, corrections — please let me know.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the seventh and last event of the Series, which will be at Bedwell Bayfront Park (in Menlo Park) on August 24th. Details are here.
