Excellence points have now been allocated for the recent Tasmanian Sprint and Middle Championships. View these at https://www.tasorienteering.asn.au/results/ost-excellence-points
The following discussion of technical minutiae might be of interest to someone. In recent years the "organiser credits" allowance ( rules here ) has been extended to also apply for statewide events missed due to a person instead participating in the Tasmanian or Australian Team at national or international races. This has turned out to be fraught due to ambiguous interpretations, difficult application, and a perceived loss of focus on encouraging participation in our statewide series.
Two changes will be trialed this year to reduce these problems:
1) later in the year we will call for potential credit recipients to apply for those credits,
2) no more than two "representative team credits" per year will be allowed for any individual.
This is all separate from "organiser credits" which will continue to apply according to long-standing rules.
Feel free to give me your thoughts on this topic.
