Auckland Champs 2000 - Results Short O

Last Updated:  13 October 2000

Course setter's comments

    Weiti South is an ideal venue for short course orienteering, offering the required
very fast running and the technical requirements of demanding, quick, map reading
skills and swift route choice selection to tight control sites.
    I was surprised that many people are unaware that only one short course event
should be held on a day. Only two are needed when a qualifying race is required:
then the finals are held the next day.
    The elites wanted no more than 28 to 30 minutes winning time to conform with
international rules and because of their long Classic race the previous day. This meant
that I had to drop W21E to course 3 to meet this margin.
    All other courses had to be shortened accordingly and where I felt it was necessary,
oriented to the weakest class on a course where the amalgamations were unsatisfactory.
    My many thanks to my son, David Melrose, who, despite his very heavy overseas
commitments, controlled the event excellently, correcting any of my small errors such
as placing two wrong control descriptions on two of the maps and using a wrong clearing
on course 2 which he did not discover until I had placed the control flag.
    Finally, congratulations to Bob Murphy who, despite two knee joint replacements and
a
few years out of the sport, proved he has lost none of his technical skill by winning his class.
