Discussion: Results for US Trials

I'm sure Sandy will have everything up shortly. In the meantime, here are the point standings with the long course still to go tomorrow.

Results are posted on DVOA's website and will be loaded to AP and Winsplits later today.

I mucked up when I uploaded the sprint splits files a bit, so there are three splits files: one is the middle splits again and the other two are both the sprint. Kent Shaw will clean it up at some point I'm sure.

Thanks to maprunner splits are now available on AP and Winsplits.

Results are posted on the Team Trials web page as well. Alternative routes added for tomorrow.

Thanks all for getting the results up quickly for us armchair orienteers!

And well done everyone on Saturday. This is shaping up to be one of the closest team trials in my memory - which is great for U.S. Orienteering!

Long course splits are available on AP and WinSplits.

Quick update from the Trials (from memory, so sorry if inaccurate!). I am sure full results will be up soon.

Thanks to DVOA and Bears on Speed for an awesome Team Trials!!

sweet! congrats everybody. Good to see some new faces on the team as well - not that there was anything wrong with the old faces though ;-)

wish I'd been there, sounds like a fun weekend

Here are the final point standings (men and women).

The Review Panel (Kris Beecroft, Peggy Dickison, and Peter Gagarin) inserted Matt Scott in 8th position (after Nikolay) and Sandra Zürcher in 5th position (after Pavlina).

The teams in Norway will be as Boris listed them --

Men: Roaa, Eric, Eddie, Nikolay and Matt.
Women: Samantha, Ali, Erin, Pavlina, and Sandra.

Congratulations to all of them.

Also, many thanks to the lead organizers of the Trials --

Vadim Masalkov, event director
Sergei Zhyk and Greg Balter, course setters
Sandy Fillebrown, e-punch guru

And what all may not realize, the Trials were a Team fundraiser and it appears that they will be able to make a significant donation to the Team Fund. Thanks!

I wonder if PG's apparent typo was intentional? Ross=Roaa[r]?

In any case, congratulations to the Team. A fine one, and special congrats to the new faces.

Also, super big thanks to the organizers--the great course setters, Sandy, and Dan and Dave who had to sit at the start, subjected to a rather buggy time.

Those courses were just awesome. And the terrain and maps were obviously great.

Congratulations to each of you and all of you. Represent US well.

I wonder if PG's apparent typo was intentional? Ross=Roaa[r]?

No, PG is just losing his marbles....

(My SOP for an AP entry is type it in, making perhaps a typo every line or two despite trying to be careful, then read it over to fix most of the typos, then read it again, perhaps to fix the rest of them, perhaps not. Sometimes my fingers just have minds of their own.)

I'm not sure what a Roaa is, but it sounds vaguely African?

Thanks as well to Peter, Peggy & Kris for being the review panel, and Peter for presenting the team!

If you're curious what maps/terrains the WOC 2010 team will run on, look here: http://www.woc2010.com/index.php?option=com_conten...

Now that we've picked a team for 2010 - Any club up for setting Team Trials 2011 (or 2012, or 2013?) An existing (or to-be-created) A-meet in about May is quite desirable, (though as this year shows, not required.) Much help is available.

Even if you aren't personally interested in stepping forward to set the trials, I'd like your opinion (on this thread) on US terrain matches to the following terrains:

2011: http://www.woc2011.fr/index.php?option=com_content...

2012: http://www.woc2012.ch/content/view/14/15/lang,en/ (anyone got a better link to old O' maps?)

2013: http://www.ssl.fi/SSL/sslweb.nsf/sp?Open&cid=Conte...

~May event

Just to get on the thank you bandwagon...Wyatt, thanks for all the work you have done to set up the scoring system, and getting DVOA to host the trials. ...and just think, we get to do it all over again next year.

Congrats to the US Team from the old coach!

P.s. Sandra your dream goal is within reach!

Some pictures are posted here. More to come later, most likely next week.

Also, we are working on setting up RouteGadget.

Thank you to everyone who made this meet happen! I learnt a ton this weekend from my races!!!

Congratulations to the WOC team! Race well in Norway!!!

Thanks to Sandy for the results, analysis from O-scores is here:
Table view and list-performance view

I wanted to say a Big THANK YOU to everyone involved in planning and executing the Team Trials. Great Job!! And thanks to all the participants for also making the competition an exciting one! Congrats to the selected WOC team! Race well in Norway and if you are heading to Scandinavia early and need some place to stay and or train, Gothenburg is open to you. Just let me know!

Thanks to the organizers for a good series of races this weekend. Any chance of the RG going live?

Thanks for coming out. We are working on it. errr as soon as we manage to wake someone up :)

One week later, and there is no RG! Not good, really not good ;)

Get a live, some of us have real jobs :).
I sent files to DVOA RG chief, it shell be available after BillyGoat weekend.

Greg is absolutely right. We have our real jobs! I don't know about others, but I had a pile of backlog waiting for me at my desk :) And I would like to remind you, this event was done with very limited amount of helpers which means most of us were doing multiple tasks and responsibilities. Fair enough?!

Speedy and Greg, most of us do appreciate all of the work you guys did to put on the meet. I'll be just as happy to play with RG next week as I would have been last week. Thanks!

Files are already sent over to RG guru. It'll be available at DVOA web site, links will be posted here, at AP, and at TT web sites when RG is ready. Stay tuned :)

It's all a matter of priorities, and everything can't be done at the same time. For the WCOC meet the weekend before, and I'm assuming for the Trials also, Igor needed a specific invitation to deal with crossing the border. Next time, if I understand things correctly, the wish is that we take care of RG right away, and issue the invitation a week after the fact? :-)

lol
I was thinking to say thx for the event after the RG.
I do not need it; Patrick asked for it, so I tried to make any answer from you! And now I am a bad guy!

Thx for invitational letters, I did not use them, but it is better to have them!

So, thank you for your events, and I hope to see you all in Canada! and COC 2012 in Toronto!

We just picking on you :)

Greg, You are the BEST! ;) THX a lot!!!

RouteGadget is up and running for several days already and only few runners so far provided their routes. What the point of setting up RG if most of you don't use it?! I know everyone who asked for RG and put their routes appreciate our efforts. How about the rest of you? Too busy with your daily routines? Training out in the woods? Or just lazy?

why bother creating AP if everyone does not use it. ; )

I spend enough time aligning my routes with QR. Why do it again with RG?

RG is a great tool for course planners. If enough people enter their routes, then the course planners get useful feedback about the amount of route choice they created. This helps raise course planning standards and makes future courses more fun. That's one reason to enter your routes.

Whenever I set courses I look forward to seeing the routes, and I'm very appreciative of those that take the effort to enter them..

Adrian, I hadn't thought of it from that point of you. My thinking was more along the lines of being able to see the routes of my competitors, which is just as easily done through their AP logs if they link them there as through RG. But I see your point and will try to be more diligent about entering my routes on RouteGadget too when time allows.
