As many are aware, there was a glitch in reprogramming the controls after NAOC in preparation for the event at Fair Hill.  The Clear, Check, Start and Finish stations were not programmed correctly and so did not act as clear, check start and finish stations.  I definitely am very sorry that this happened.

Thanks to some heroic efforts by Diane Reider, many of the results were able to be reconstructed.  Unfortunately, for those whose SI-cards filled up, there is nothing that can be done to recover the times on the controls (including the finish control) that were punched after the card filled up.  We can check that the controls were visited, but can not get the times.

So the results I just posted only include those people who managed to get around the course and punch the box at finish before their SI card filled. 

For everyone else, we've got your splits up until the point where your card could no longer hold the time information.  We were able to see whether you visited the controls by reading the control boxes.  They recorded that you were there, but not the time you were there.  So those who visited all the controls on their course show up in the splits file but without a final time (and without any other designation).

Again, apologies for the mix-up and especially to first time event directors Dory and Diane.  Thanks for holding the event and kudos for coping as well as you did.
