ChampOlympics

At Champ camp in previous years I held a Total Station setup competition wherein participants were required to perfectly center and level the instrument and timed. This year I spiced things up a bit with the addition of a quiz that included aux and survey questions.

The 2015 winners:

ChampR's, AKA Champ returners:

Nancy: 11 minutes 49 seconds
Ross: 11' 57"
JZ: 12' 38"

Greenhorns:

Corey: 11' 35"
Maia: 14' 25"
Anna Stargil: 15' 17"
Hayley: 16' 35"

And 23 people were DQ for reasons like not perfectly centering the tribrach or loose legs on the tripod.
