Full Eventor NSW State League Series results - 2023 NSW State League Pointscore
The Orienteer of Year competition was established in the 1970s, announced by then newsletter editor Toy Martin:
The OA of New South Wales has decided to begin the point score [for Orienteer of the Year] with the Heathcote event. This point system will be a good indicator of ability and consistency and will be a valuable reference for both team selectors and referees in ‘who’s better’ arguments. The leader in the point score at the conclusion of the association year – March 31st – will be declared ‘Orienteer of the Year’. Points will be allocated for all events sanctioned by the association.
The rules and timing have evolved a bit over the last 50 years!
How did your club fare this year? It’s something to celebrate!
