The next leg will begin at:
Bristol Temple Meads

 

[VT 390]

Lawrence Hill

 

[A Challenge]

Keynsham

 

[Esker-pades]

Note that as the previous leg* was declared to have ended when it hadn't (see post #161316), the leg scores zero.

(*Leg ran from Chapelton to Paignton.)

 

[Andy Pacer]

Oldfield Park

Note that as the previous leg* was declared to have ended when it hadn't (see post #161316), the leg will score 25 points fewer as per the rules.

(*Leg ran from Chapelton to Paignton.)

Would this have applied had a different player eventually won the leg rather than the one who mistakenly declared the win?

I daren't make a judgement so will await one of the adjudicators.

The win was declared by you at Barnstaple, and you then won at Paignton. I read it that it is 25 points for editing ("the adjudicators can dock 25 points from the leg"), and if the leg has been started in error then that person can get no points at all [only them] ("If someone has started a new leg after incorrectly deciding they have won the previous leg then the adjudicators award them no points for that leg, so be careful!")

Freshford is a win.

Thanks for the clarification, although I didn't edit anything (apart from my incorrect new starting station).

That sentence gives us no wriggle room ("the adjucidators award them no points"). So, it looks like we have to score it zero.

The next journey will start at: Lamphey

Thanks, that is what I was looking to clarify. It also means that if accidentally declaring a win, then there is no point in continuing to participate in the leg, so that's useful to know.

The point of the quiz is not to win points. But, if you see it in that way, then yes.
