Results for metro series heat 1

After great conditions for RPYC’s opening day, we have a new set of results available. It’s been a complicated set of results this time, for a few reasons:

After a mediation hearing with Itinerant, The Black Smoke’s result is subject to a mediation penalty. We’re using YA’s guidance of a penalty half-way between the actual result and a DSQ (ignoring fractions), leaving the other results as-is.

There were a few transcription errors in RPYC’s set of handicaps. Fortunately, these had no effect on the pennant-winners’ places, but do shuffle some of the other results a little. Pat will be glad to hear that he didn’t really have a handicap of 0.6889!

The corrections are:

  • Farrlap’s handicap is 0.6506, not 0.6606. However, no change in place occurs.
  • Seahawk’s handicap is 0.6689, not 0.6889. This moves her from 11th to 7th.
  • Itinerant’s handicap is 0.6581, not 0.6681. This moves her from 7th to 5th.

After all that, the results for heat 1 are:
