VHI 2019 – Selection Policy
In 2019 the England team for the Veteran Home Internationals will be selected using the results of the following races:
Southern Champs | Sunday 31st March | Forest of Dean | BOK |
JK Middle | Saturday 20th April | Windmill Hill | SN |
JK Long | Sunday 21st April | Cold Ash | BKO |
British Champs | Saturday 4th May | Kilnsey North | AIRE |
Midland Champs | Sunday 26th May | Brown Clee | HOC |
Orienteers need to compete in at least two of these races to be considered. Greater weight will be given to the results of the JK and BOC.
If competitors run up then their results will be taken into account on a minutes/km basis.
On occasions a competitor may be recovering from injury or illness, and know beforehand that he/she may not perform well in a selection race. In such circumstance, the competitor should let a selector know in advance together with their wishes regarding the inclusion of their result for selection purposes.
In general a ‘retired’ or ‘disqualified’ will be taken to be the equivalent of a very poor run: those wishing to be selected should take every precaution to avoid mispunching in a selection race.
Selectors: Jackie Hallett (BOK), Andy Hemsted (HOC, Chair), Tim Tett (SYO)
