Winner selection

The following process is used to decide all province team placings in the All-Ireland Hillwalking Provinces Championship:

All submitted Championship Entry Forms are checked in early November.
Each competitor's overall individual score is tallied (i.e. Rounds 1 - 4 points plus bonus points).
Competitors are sorted into the provinces they are representing.
Each province represented by 2 or more of individuals qualifies as a team in the All-Ireland Hillwalking Provinces Championship.
The 5 highest individual scores from each province are added together to become that province's official team score.
If a province team has 2 - 4 members, each of the 1 - 3 empty slots equates to an individual score of zero.
Provinces are placed in order according to their overall team score, from the highest-scoring province to the lowest.
The highest-scoring province team is the Champion.
We aim to announce a full set of results across all categories in mid-November.
