Deeside Galoppen Rules
- The Deeside Galoppen is open to all members of Deeside Orienteering Club.
- The Galoppen is based on the results of the ten summer evening events
organised by Deeside O.C. and MDOC, not including the Chester Zoo event.
- Points are awarded as follows:
- The winner in each class is awarded 100 points.
- Other competitors in each class are awarded points based on
the difference between their time and that of the winner in their class.
The competitor is awarded one point less than the class winner for every
30 seconds or part thereof behind the class winner.
- A competitor must score points in at least three events to be included
in the final results.
- The five best results of each competitor are used to calculate their points total.
- Only people running as individuals can enter the Galoppen; groups running
together do not count.
- The following classes are available, subject to sufficient competitors.
The Galoppenmeister claims the right to combine classes at the end of the
season if there are too few competitors to make separate classes worthwhile.

- To be sure that your results are included in the Galoppen, you MUST ensure that you put your
AGE and SEX class and the club DEE on your control card and stub.
The Galoppenmeister is not going to sift through the Deeside membership list trying to identify
names he does not recognise.
- The winner of each class will be presented with a small trophy at the Deeside AGM.
Peter Hills, Galoppenmeister.
