What the Compiler Leaves Off

Shame, Reparation and the Bottom Row of a Community Run's Results Sheet

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement compares 1,312 published results sheets from 14 free weekly timed-run series with the raw timer lists behind them, and interviews 22 of the volunteers who compile them, twice each. The last row is changed on 27.8% of sheets in series with a written tail convention and on 11.2% in series without one, and the poster reads the edit, in the psychosocial tradition, as a defence that relieves the compiler rather than the runner.
