Burley in Wharfedale

Results Update 22/04/26: As suspected, the CLEAR block was not performing it's 'clear' duties as it was incorrectly programmed as a regular control. I have now reprogrammed this block for the next event.

I have also modified everyone's download data to remove the punches which should have been cleared to form the results, which are now published.

Thank you for your patience whilst these issues have been resolved.

Results Update 17/04/26: Apologies, there will be a delay in uploading the results after encountering several issues on the night. We suspect the biggest issue was the CLEAR block not working as it should and therefore not removing the punch data from your previous event. As a consequence, all of the downloaded data was muddled and giving ridiculous times. Check back next week when I have hopefully sorted the results.

Both courses cross public roads, so U16s will need to be accompanied.

A dibber is required for the start & finish on all courses and on the long course there will be three randomly placed controls for you to punch, none on the short course.
