Winner selection


The following process is used to decide all province team placings in the All-Ireland Hillwalking Provinces Championship:
  1. All submitted Championship Entry Forms are checked in early November.
  2. Each competitor's overall individual score is tallied (i.e. Rounds 1 - 8 combined).
  3. Competitors are sorted into the provinces they are representing.
  4. Each province represented by 2 or more of individuals qualifies as a team in the All-Ireland Hillwalking Provinces Championship.
  5. The 5 highest individual scores from each province are added together to become that province's official team score.
  6. If a province team has 2 - 4 members, each of the 1 - 3 empty slots equates to an individual score of zero.
  7. Provinces are placed in order according to their overall team score, from the highest-scoring province to the lowest.
  8. The highest-scoring province team is the Champion.
  9. We aim to announce a full set of results across all categories in mid-November.
