Shamrock O-Ringen Chasing Start
Monday 1st June
Directions & Parking Terrain Starts and Finish Start times
Lists of Start times will be available at the event centre on Sunday evening, or online here.
Day 3 will use a Chasing Start, based on competitors' performances on Days 1 and 2.
The first Chasing Start will be at 10am for course winners.
However, Class Leaders who are considerably behind Course Leaders may be indexed to a time other than 10am. Therefore, it is very important that you check your Day 3 start time on the Sunday evening, as you may be starting earlier than you think. The chasing start will be for 45-60 mins and thereafter at minute intervals. Most competitors should have started by 11.30. A 5-minute call-up will be in operation. It is your own responsibility to be on time for your start.
Because it's a Chasing Start, i.e. timed start, there will NOT be an SI Start Punch on Day 3. Because there is no start information on your SI card, i nformation from previous events can corrupt the results. Therefore it is critical that you clear your SI card before you start. It is the competitor's responsibility to make sure this is done. Course Closing times
All courses will close at 1.30pm.
Assembly Area / Information
An information desk will be located in the assembly area, for the payment or rebate of monies, SI card hire and return, and T-Shirt sales. Printed results will also be displayed in the Assembly Area.
