Local level event
Explanation of Event levels
- Training events are non competitive events used for training and coaching, aimed at members of the club, but they can attract people from neighbouring clubs, and are often ideal for newcomers to try the sport.
- Local events are usually low key and in the 'localised' area, ideal for newcomers to try the sport. Most clubs run some 'mini series' throughout the year as local mid week events.
- Regional events attract participants from around the local Region.
- National events are high quality competitions that will attract people from far away,
- Major events are Major Events such as a British Championships or the annual JK competition.
Results
Report
The attached results are somewhat mis-leading.
A significant number of competitors ignored mapped uncrossable boundaries when visiting controls. In particular the fence to the south and eastern side of the play area near to control 117 (black) and the hedge / garden area just to the north of the start location.
Failure to adhere these uncrossable features may impact upon the use of the area for future events as well as not 'being in the spirit of the sport'.
