Hopefully everyone has noticed the rapid evolution of the DVOA.org website. Building on the framework that Kent Shaw developed over the years, new DVOA webmaster Bob Gross has applied his substantial web design talents to push the envelope further and build a website that will be even more valuable to members, visitors, and friends of the club. From where I sit, I think we have one of the best websites out there, and definitely the best one in US orienteering. Thanks Bob!

I just wanted to underscore one point. Built on the Framework developed by Kent Shaw. His engine is still running under the new paint job.

Thanks Kent, we miss you!

And a big thank you goes out to Vadim and Wyatt for all the hard work updating the results and rankings data.

We also have a team of contributors that continuously update results, routegadget, schedule, photo gallery, news and this eboard.

Keep up the great work guys.

We are still planning on adding the "Why I Orienteer" page, so send in your quotes.

I love it! Is there a forum for bug reporting? I noticed something off on the rankings.
