Stats for NOLY

We have a confession to make!

The dreaded Excel cut and paste gremlin hit us while we were capturing scores at the event yesterday. The first four teams to start had a faulty formula which did not include the scores for the puzzles. When we re-checked the formulas we discovered this error. This does have a significant effect on the final results.

The four teams affected are:
Sailing Katryn who move up 1 position into 21st place
SAC who move up 5 positions to 13th place
Modjadjies who move up 2 positions to 4th place
DaGarma who move up 1 position to 1st place

We have consulted with TGF who have been very understanding. When we informed DaGarma, they asked us to declare TGF and themselves as a joint first place - which we think is very sporting and actually quite accurate as these two teams were head and shoulders above the rest.

This means that the top five are:

1. DaGarma and TeamTGF
3. Red Gnu
4. Modjadjies
5. Krazolo


We apologise profusely for any disappointments caused by this error, but we feel that we would rather face up to our mistakes than try to cover anything up. We wish to be completely transparent in the way we have run the event.

We have placed some really cool bar graphs down below showing breakdowns of caches found by teams, waypoints logged, caches' "hit rates" and much more! We hope you will find them interesting.

We have now checked, double-checked and re-checked our formulas and stats and would therefore like to consider these results as final. Let's remember that the object is to have fun (which is what the logs already indicate)!

Thanks for all your positive feedback - we have not needed to use file 13 once!
