(1) The announcement --
"Unofficial" US Sprint O Championships to be held Telemark, WI Oct 16th
MNOC and the US team are pleased to announce that the US team will be hosting a sprint event as a fund raiser on Oct 16th from 2 pm - 4 pm at Telemark Resort, Cable, WI as an optional bonus to the 2 day US Individual Championships (classic distance).
Course length will be approximately 1.5km in a sprint format. Brian May will be setting; Peter Gagarin is the meet director and vetter. There will be regular USOF age categories; all ages and abilities are welcome to this event which will be in the open area and trails close to the Telemark Resort. Donations of $5 per person are suggested with all benefits going to fund the US team. To take part in the event just head on over with your donation to the sprint O registration/start table located within yards of the A-meet day 1 finish.
(2) A couple of ideas --
1. Perhaps we can get Brian to run it too, and anyone who can beat his time gets special bragging rights.
2. I'd like to issue results in two ways: (A) Gross -- just your actual time. (B) Net -- your gross time with an adjustment (subtraction of time) based on your age/sex group. Here my thought is that the adjustment is 10% for each point you have in the systems we use for the Relay champs. So an F21 would get a 20% reduction (2 points x 10%), an M60 would get 30%. I'm curious to see who would end up the quickest.
(3) I could use a little help that afternoon -- registrars, timers, hecklers, whatever ....
