OV1 - Workshop Formats

This Workshop includes a complete set of data for 5 consecutive race days, and allows for three different Workshop formats :

  1. Fully supervised Workshop, entering and processing all data included.
    This can be done over one full day or over two afternoon or evening sessions

  2. Short supervised Workshop plus additional practcie at home.
    The supervised workshop could be conducted over about 2 hours, using the Data for Race Day 1 only (perhaps minus the Minnows data).

  3. Individual practice at Home, entering and processing all data included over a period of time.
Whichever format you use, please feel free to contact me by email anytime with questions or comments.
