At the Beartown Tap club evening last Thursday, Rob Waghorn observed that a “standard time” for one of our riders had switched to the next age a bit early – days before the person’s actual birthday.
Sure enough, there was a mistake in the calculation of age from date-of-birth. I claim the blame for this error. Sorry! The testing must have been a bit thin on that area.
The error had presumably been there all season, but after exhausting searches I have been unable to find any cases where it made any difference to the “Standards” points allocated in the first 8 events. However on the 6th June the Chelford 25 had two riders out of their correct positions in the Standards result. They have dropped three points between them which have been re-allocated to three other riders (one point apiece). You could only lose points if your birthday is in the month of the event on a day numbered higher than the event day – June and 6 in this case.
I believe I have corrected the software bug, the event report for 6th June and the league tables.
