North West Hills Metrogaine
Sunday 26 February 2006
269 people in 106 teams took part in the North
West Hills Metrogaine held at Stringybark
Ridge, Pennant Hills.
A note from the course setter ...
I have done a rough count of the number of
teams which visited each checkpoint. This came out as follows
-
30, 9 31,52 32,25 33,30 34,29
40,36 41,10 42,34 43,3 44,33 45,36 46,47
50,25 51,32 52,9 53,66 54,68 55,60 56,30 57,51 58,48 59,69
60,26 61,47 62,9 63,8 64,68 65,83 66,46 67,14 68,63 69,74
70,25 71,32 72,31 73,48 74,44 75,42 76,60 77,38 78,35
80,11 81,9 82,10 83,39 84,60 85,60 86,65 87,29 88,53 89,37
90,46 91,5 92,48 93,40 94,52 95,11
100,24 101,53 102,53 103,55 104,51 105,64
Top was No 65 with 83 visits, bottom was 43
with only 3. This was less even than the remote checkpoint,
number 91, which 5 teams visited . Most notable was the bias
to the East side of the map, for instance, 51 teams visited
the northernmost No 104. If a line is drawn passing through
102 and 101 there was only one checkpoint to the West of the
line which had more than 40 visiting teams (number 92, the
stone bridge). None of the top scoring 5 teams visited
Heritage Park in the West (62,95,30,63) so this was obviously
a wise choice to maximize a score.
