The link for the live results was generated in Ór but we found later that it didn\'t work because, while Ór needed a \"https\", it was only generating a \"http\" itself. If it works it is pretty neat!
As to control 10, come along next Tuesday and explore the Furry Glen more, if we can go ahead in the light of the most recent Covid-19 restrictions. We are waiting for clarification from Sport Ireland but the courses are planned and ready to go. However, we\'ll probably move start times earlier as we were caught out by nightfall taking in controls yesterday evening. Starts will be from 6 pm to 7 pm; courses close 8 pm, but we\'ll have to wait and see what the situation is.
Entries are now open here https://www.orienteering.ie/fixtures/phoenix-park-30/ and they will be open until 6 pm on Monday. If you have already entered and the event can\'t go ahead, you\'ll get a full refund: a no-quibble guarantee!
Incidentally, a couple of people on Tuesday last felt that they had run further than they had expected. When we checked the course lengths afterwards it emerged that somehow the wrong background map scale had been entered so you were right: the courses were actually 7.1, 5.8 and 3.2 km, so (a) well done and (b) apologies. For future reference, if you use an OCAD file as the background map in Purple Pen, it reads the map scale automatically; if you use another image like a JPEG for the background map, you have to tell PP what the map scale is, which is where we went astray.
