You can access the tables from the “STANDINGS” section of the website, then go to “hCOW>hCOW2024”.
The event results reveal a large fluctuation in handicaps (variance), both up and down – looks like some folk went well and others had problems. The hCOW Table (that’s points for regularity) won’t start showiing the true picture until after Moydamlaght, when those with 5 results (the required number) will be at the head of the list. At the moment, amongst those with three scores to date, Ric Gamble has a substantial lead over Moire O’Sullivan – does a stint as club Chairman make you a more consistent orienteer? Perhaps I should be dusting off my O-shoes. The Handicap table (showing the history of your handicap fluctuation) backs up the notion that there were good, and not so good, performances last Saturday. The Regatta table (handicap improvement) gives the DNFs and DNSs points one greater than the highest scoring finisher so with the relatively low turnout Crossmurrin was a good one to miss. The table is showing a Graham family takeover!
In addition to the hCOW tables the Colour Standards and the NISeries tables have also been updated. Unlike the Drumkeeragh update, which saw 4 events drop out of the 12-month Colour Standards window, there was no drop-off this time so quite a few standards were consolidated or improved.
