Rotary Exmoor Youth Challenge
RESULTS 2012
Note that the team with the lowest number of points wins. Time penalties are scored as minutes lost or gained, and 'Questions' is the number of correct questions answered (Maximum 16). Congratulations to ALL teams who completed the challenge - it required courage, determination, and stamina. Make a note of the date for next year!
REMINDER: PLEASE LET US HAVE YOUR SPONSORSHIP MONEY AS SOON AS YOU CAN (cheques payable to Exmoor Rotary). It will all go to Children's Hospice South West. |
Sponsorship this year will go to: |
SENIORS: Boys: Girls: Mixed teams: |
JUNIORS: Boys: Girls: Mixed teams:
|
The Team with the best result (lowest points) was Isca 11 (Team 148) who had perfect timing (only 5 teams achieved this), and solved 15 of the 16 questions - thus they ended up with just 1 point. |
|
Congratulations to Isca on an amazing perfomance once again - this College also has raised very sugnificant sums in sponsorship for the Hospice in the last few years - we hope they will do so again! |

SEWARD CUP - for the best primary school team in 2012 is awarded to Two Moors Primary 7 Team. |

Notes:
a) After team number and team name, 'class' denotes
Juniors 1=boys, 2 = girls, 3 = mixed team
Seniors 4 = boys, 5 = girls, 6 = mixed team
b) Time penalties are calculated from the times by which each team missed the ideal stated time between each pair of checkpoints. 'Points' is this time in minutes. Penalty points are given for kit defficiencies (no warm clothing, no hat, no torch, no OS map, no emergency blanket etc.), failing to hand in a time sheet, lost paperwork, etc.
c) 'Questions' has a maximum score of 16. These are deducted from any time penalties.
d) A number of teams failed to score points for the Questions because they had failed to fill in their team number at the top of ther sheet!
e) The perfect 'Results' score is zero!

In 2011, 122 Junior and 23 Senior teams took part, a record number, totalling 580 young people. Of these, only 5 teams failed to complete the course, and 550 competitors qualified for medals.

Again this year, we have had numerous comments from those based at Dulverton School and those running checkpoints and acting as marshals - they all say how courteous, polite, cheerful, and well behaved all the young people were who took part. It made running the event a real pleasure. Thank you.
