The colour standards table has been updated following the event on Slieve Croob last Saturday. It can be found at “Resources/LVO Public Folders/Colour Standards”. There are 2 reasons for having a look. The first is to confirm whether or not you achieved a standard on Saturday – the standard time shown in the results is not necessarily correct as the criteria used to calculate it is not that used for NI colour standard achievement (e.g. M & W are not treated seperately). The second is for a more serious reason – the table lists all the current and lapsed members; Read More …

The NISeries tables having been updated following the Meelmore event and can be found on the NIOA website at “Results/NI Colour Series Leagues/NI Colour Series 2019 league” or here at “Resources/LVO Public Folders/NI Series”. Over the year it’s your best 4 results (in any one class) which count.

The Colour Standards table has been updated following NISeries2 at Meelmore yesterday. NI Colour Series tables to follow.

The Green course Junior Men table has been corrected in the 2019 Spring Cup results. Access by”Resources/LVO Public Folders/Club Colour Series”.

The Colour Standards table and the final Spring Cup table are now available in the LVO Public Folders. Congratulations to our Spring Cup winners even if it looks like there’s a bit of old man pot-hunting going on! It may be worth your while to check the Colour Standards table as the method of determining colour standard achievement differs from that of the SportIdent results calculation in that: 1: Men and Women are considered seperately 2: The top 50% achieve the standard even if their result is more than 150% of the winner’s time and 3: On the Green course Read More …

The Spring Cup Standings and the Colour Standards Table have been updated following today’s SkiO(!) event at Woodburn. The Spring Cup is based on place points with two results to count; those who have got the 2 are shown with an asterisk. The Colour Standards table also shows your membership status, even if you have no results counting. If you’re in the pink you have forgotten to renew for 2019; remember that event insurance rquirements allow a maximum of 3 events to non-members. The tables can be found in the “Club Colour Series” and “Colour Standards” folders under “Resources>LVO Public Read More …

The Colour Standards table and the NISeries tables have been updated/created following the NWOC event last Saturday at Downhill. They can be found in the folders “Colour Standards” and “NISeries” in “Resources>LVO Public Folders”.

The Colour Standards table has been updated, and the interim Spring Cup table created, following the exertions last weekend at Belfast Castle. They can be found at “Resources>LVO Public Folders>Colour Standards” and “Resources>LVO Public Folders>Club Colour Series” respectively. To achieve a colour standard you need three results within a 12-month period; the Spring Cup is based on place points with your 2 best performances to count.

I am currently analysing last Saturday’s Belfast Castle results in order to update the Colour Standards table and produce an initial Spring Cup table. By my reckoning there were 3 folk on the green course who have not yet renewed their membership for 2019 and to whom I cannot therefore assign any points. You can check your current status by going to “Resources>LVO Public Folders>Colour Standards>Colour Standards.pdf”. Pink or Yellow highlighting and you’re in arrears.

The Colour Standards table has been reset for the incoming year. It can be found at “Resources>LVO Public Folders>Colour Standards”. It shows the 2018 results contributing to your current standard and the colour event programme for 2019 at which you can try to climb the colour ladder. However, it shows much more than this because it contains a list of all (and more) members and their current membership status as follows: no highlight – rejoined for 2019. Well done, ready to go! red – 2018 member not yet rejoined. You’ll be losing your member discount on event entry fees, amongst Read More …
