F3 events has become synonymous with poor time keeping and posting of results. F3 however reached a new nadir when they failed to measure the course properly. The run was only 4.7k for the third race of the series yet it was 5.15k for the second race. This is unforgivable in a race series when most competitors are trying to judge their improvement over a given period. I personally don't mind if the course measurement is not exact, but in a series of races at the same venue it must be a consistent distance.
The posting of results has become a serious issue, when most organizers can get their results out the same or next day, four or five days later for results with such limited information is poor. F3 are letting themselves down and will wither on the vine if they cannot lift their performance. I bet there are no results before Friday.
I shall save my rant about the cycle course for another day.

There was also finish times where the cycle leg was one lap short but the result still stood. It was so obvious I can't believe it escaped the scrutiny of whoever posted the results.
I queried F3 Events about the run time issue and they did not respond. They have since taken down the results but still have the novice results posted. Same problem with those too.
Unprofessional.
For an organisation who solely organises these types of events, they should be getting the distances atleast right! It is frustrating for athletes who have entered the series and want to monitor their performance over the months.
Certainly put me off doing another F3 event.
