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 - 8 combined).
- 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.
