The problem with entering St. Anne's Park seems to be resolved.
Corkagh Demense appears to be open for entries but there is an inconsistency between the event formats given in the event details (Long, Medium, Short) and the options available when actually entering (Short, Score)??
There seems to be some confusion regarding the meaning of the phrase "SIAC will not be enabled". If the boxes are set to accept contactless punching then it's meaningless to say that contactless punching is not enabled, since it, de facto, IS enabled. If you do not want contactless punching to be used, then you need to turn it off on each box. It was on at both the previous events. What is problematic is the situation we had today where all of the boxes, bar two, had contactless punching enabled. That situation is a recipe for problems, such as DNF/DISQs when a competitor fails to notice that SIAC air is off on one or two of the boxes.
A few controls in these events seem to be being deliberately hidden in thick vegetation. I can't find a specific ruling about this but it is problematic. The second last control today is a good example. The competitor in front of me had quite a bit of difficulty punching the control as it was buried in the thick vegetation surrounding the tree. Because I was punching contactlessly, I was able to punch it much more easily. I would ask why this is being done? We wouldn't allow such placements in championship events, so it's hard to reconcile it being done in beginner/park events.
