We have been receiving a few emails expressing confusion about how results are collected.  This post will hopefully clarify any issues people have been having.

First, if you are the coach of a team in Senior Premier A or Senior Premier B, do not worry about inputting results.  Results are collected and maintained by the convenors of these grades.  You do not need to send us the results.

Second, if you are  coach of a team in any of the other grades (Senior Certificate, Junior Premier, or Junior Certificate), then you need to fill out a results form, which is accessible here (the direct link is www.wsu.co.nz/results). Both teams should fill out the form.  It is vitally important that you provide the team suffix – i.e., the “1″ in “Wellington College 1,” otherwise we will not know which team from your school actually won.

Third, I am aware of one or two people who cannot access the results form.  If this applies to you, then you should email your results to results@wsu.co.nz.  I stress that this is only for those who cannot access the results form.

Fourth, in the future, I will make a greater effort to update the website with the results after rounds.  Hopefully we will be all up to date by the end of this week, and the points table can be posted.
