Prior to this year all my events had controllers at this finish, but this year I have completed two postal events and have two more booked. Is it normal for these events to take over a month to reach the results page, or have I just been unlucky?
I always like the moment at the event of a brevet when you hand the card over and know everything is in order, but with a postal finish I feel like i have a month of worry - Did I fill in the card correctly? did i manage to miss any required PoPs, has the envelope reached them, or been mis-delivered or otherwise lost? was the envelope damaged losing vital contents, or even did the envelope just come open?
I know I could scan the contents before posting, but I wouldn't even know if they had been lost in the mail as it is not the duty of the organiser to chase them, so then if I email the scan, has it made the whole posting process and inevitable delays unnecessary?
