 UPDATE OF CHAMPION HOUSE OF FOUNDER'S RUN.

Lau Wei Yiang

​​

After much consideration and research, I will declare Bullseye as the champion house for the 2025 Founder's Run. If including the virtual Founder's Run which was planned, plus the runners on the day, Bullseye will have won the run. There are quite a couple of Bullseye people on the list and as such, it will be enough to consider Bullseye as the champion house of the 2025 Founder's Run based on the evidence given.

This marks the fifth time such an incident has been offered via walkover. In order to claim a walkover victory, the following must happen:

1. The event must take place accordingly or have been planned to take place but could not happen due to certain circumstances.
2. The team claiming the walkover victory must demonstrate sufficient performance or effort to claim the victory. 
3. If the event was paused due to certain circumstances, the team winning the previous event can claim the next one as there is no change in trophy.

This practice has been done for the following events:

1. 2020 Sports Day
2. 2020 Nobel Cup
3. 2021 Founder's Run
4. 2021 Overall Score
5. 2021 Nobel Cup
6. The 2020 May/June Series IGCSE Examination which was cancelled due to Covid 19.

We can't do the same for Nobel Cup 2024 as there is no plan to hold Nobel Cup in 2024 or 2025. Hence, this can't be counted as a victory by Bullseye.

In 2020, due to the cancellation of the May/June 2020 IGCSE examination series due to Covid 19, teachers teaching the IGCSE subject had to make their own assessment in order to generate the IGCSE results. The teachers had to use a criteria for the IGCSE examination given by Cambridge Assessment International Education in order to judge the student's performance. The exam process has started and was occurring midway till CAIE announced the cancellation of the exam.

Hence, based on the IGCSE and CAIE standard, congratulations to Bullseye on this victory and also on the completion of the Chinese zodiac. Well done!

Hence, the following results be updated:

FOUNDER'S RUN RESULTS

2016 - Touchdown

2017 - Touchdown

2018 - Bullseye

2019 - Bullseye

2020 - Bullseye

2021 - Bullseye

2022 - Bullseye

2023 - Bullseye

2024 - Bullseye

2025 - Bullseye

Those folks from Touchdown shall never be forgiven for stealing 2.195km of the distance from Bullseye. 5km X 8 victories = 40km.

Marathon distance is 42.195km. Those Touchdown folks raged and pillaged those remaining kms. They have prized off one point from Bullseye to make their 2017 Sports Day victory. We will never forget and forgive them for that ruthless act.
