Update to the process for announcing GBR Teams

As detailed in the GBR team selection policy, athletes who would like to be considered for selection must complete an availability form to declare their interest in being selected to represent GBR at international competitions. Athletes are required to complete the availability form by race-specific deadlines; these deadlines are listed in the selection policy and advertised on the British Orienteering website.

The process for communicating selection decisions is laid out in section 3.1 of the appeals policy. This section has been updated to reflect the fact that only a specific group of people are eligible for selection. Specifically, selection decisions will be communicated in writing (usually via email) to all athletes who have declared themselves available for selection. This is a change from the previous process whereby selection decisions were announced on the British Orienteering website. The change has been made to enable us to communicate the selection decisions as quickly as possible to the relevant group of people.
