2024 Fall Sprint Results

Thanks to everyone that participated in the Fall Sprints!

A total of 232 logs were submitted across the five sprint dates. The 2M (71 logs)
and 6M (55 logs) sprints account for 54% of the recorded scores. The 6M sprint
still managed to attract above average participation, with the majority of
comments favorable to the new afternoon hours contest time.
The submitted scores can be found on the 3830scores website. The final scores
have been reviewed and confirmed by the Fall Sprint contest committee. The
winning scores and runner up scores for each sprint are displayed below.

Congratulations to all of the 2024 Fall Sprint Winners!

See you in the 2025 running of the Spring and Fall Sprints.

The Fall Sprint contest series for 2024 has concluded. Thanks to everyone that
