Route Card Commentary
|
An experiment to vary the type of maps you have to deal with. This
seemed to give more deliberation than I wanted.
Some had difficulty in
accurately plotting on screen the disparate points of large grid, small
grid and longs/lats. Actually it didn't matter too much from a route
selection point of view since most of the plots were kept away from
junctions. I was overly generous on LETTER and other marking, particularly near
the end, due to uncertainties whether letters broke the road or white roads
were usable. Still there were many mistakes the most common being
omission of the T at "Thundrid".
The RU (Railway Under) questions provoked much debate. Since there was no
visible bridge (requiring a bridge symbol or spacing between the railway
track and road) over the road, a track covering the course of the road
is defined as a level crossing (with or without the LC) and is therefore
a RO (Railway Over). The required answers in both cases were 0. This was
clarified in the Forum.
Not a popular Route Card. The worst average score, most dropped for
the best 10 and only one perfect score.
