Grouping: WOC Long Qualification

Posted by Jan Kocbach, 19 Jul 2008@8:00

While waiting for the WOC Long Final, it may be interesting to take a look at the Grouping analysis from the Long Qualification. As expected, there is not too much grouping in the qualification, as there is a random starting order (except for start groups) in the qualification. For the final, the starting order is based on the qualification results with the potentially best runners starting in the end, and thus the chances for grouping are significantly better.

Let us hope that grouping of runners which influences the results does not occur in the WOC Long distance finals this year.

The grouping analysis below is again made by Henning Spjelkavik. Note that the splits files where on a somewhat strange format, and that there might be some inaccuracies. Please leave a comment below if you can spot an error.
