Heya guys, and advice on how to get to DKIT using public transportation?

Mogsey

ah, good old public transport.

if you are coming by bus, both the mathews bus and bus eireann buses to dundalk stop right outside the college. its the first stop when you come off the motorway and you pass a petrol station on the left. this would be your best bet

you could get the train to dundalk but it is a bit of a walk to the college. here is a link to google maps which i hope helps:

I used to get the matthews bus to work when I was based in Demonware - quality transport. Leaves from parnell street, uses the motorways, pretty regular schedule.

Mogsey

Hey guys.
i really need to have those team sheets in by tonight so could you please send them on to me at my email.
Thanks

p.s. i forgot to mention, we will be opening it to guests. but as awlays, students will come first

Mogsey

I still have to hear from NUIG and NUIM. can you please get in touch with me as soon as possible, whether you are sending a team or not.

Also, it looks like we will have extra spaces available on the day, so if any college wishes to send more people, drop me a mail and i'll see what i can do

Mogsey

A small toolbox was found after we had cleaned up. if this belongs to anyone, let me know.

Results are online at http://www.ucd.ie/archery/iv/index.html

I need clarification:
- was William O'Leary from DIT shooting in beginner recurve or beginner barebow category?
- I got 2 scores for Michael Curtin: 233 and 458 (best beginner). What is the correct score?

Mogsey

Micheal Curtin got 458 and ,as far as i know, William O'Leary is beginner

Fixed. I always try to fix such mispellings, but probably need to automate checking to larger extent.

Fixed.

If he really shoot as beginner recurve, then I need a clarification from rules committee. William's best score was 395 as barebow, and the rules are not explicitly clear about beginner->advanced transition. Old rules stated that 350+ score as barebow is required to become advanced recurve, and Dermot and I were asking for exactly this problem in the rules thread.

Of course, if it was a mistake and William really was shooting barebow, then there's no problem. Though the rule still needs clarification.

Just two points on DCU names,
Huw Leggate and Hugh Leggate are the same person, it’s spelt Huw Leggate.
Colin Griffin and Colin Griffen are the same person, it’s spelt Colin Griffin.

Thanks for changing it

And William O'Leary was shooting beginner recurve, afaik to qualify for barebow advanced you need 450+ no?

Yup, but to go from barebow to recurve is different. Basically, by old rules if you get the white badge in any disipline then you are at that level in all disiplines. This means if you have the white badge from barebow, then when you switch to recurve / compound you are regarded as advanced.

All fixed. And I knew which were correct names, as I asked those questions while I was at UCD IV. Before the next IV, I will try to rewrite my program to better handle such misspellings (it's ironic that at work I'm developing text analysis and spell checking software, but cannot use it in my non-work project).

Exactly. The previous discussion is at http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055429152, posts 2, 6, 7, 9. However, there was no decision by rules committee about it.

William's score does not affect team standings, so I don't see any point in disqualifying him. But the rule needs to be clarified to avoid future problems.

BTW, is there any method of contacting rules committee other than posting at this board? I know that people have emails, but I don't know them to post my questions directly.

MicS

Nobody answering questions ... Does it mean nobody cares? Or rules committee is discussing it already or going to discuss it soon?
