Typos and other creatures

Regardless of proof reading it is inevitable that the odd typo will sneak through. A smidge annoying but there are worse things in life, I suppose.
I spotted one when checking over the End 2 End Walk web site and the details of the event, and in particular, team events.

This year for the first time, we are introducing a 'Corporate' team challenge. The concept is fairly straightforward in that each member of a team must work for the same company or work place. Hopefully that this will stimulate some 'inter-company' challenges between rival entities for example and perhaps even teams from within the same office competing against each other. This will add a new twist to the team entries which have proved popular in previous years.
There is no restriction with regard to previous finishers being part of a corporate teams - merely that the entire team must work for the same employer.
This last part is where the typo comes into play on the web site.  'Typo', is a bit of an understatement really; it's more of a gaffe verging on a c*ck-up!
The web site states that "Corporate teams must be teams of four non finishers". This was an idea we initially had when the corporate team category was first mooted but it was decided not to go down this road as it may have restricted the number of teams entered in this category.
So there you have it. Hardly the end of the world, however, it needed clarifying as we want to encourage team entries as the competitveness makes the race a whole lot more enjoyable for team members, especially as it is often not readily apparent who has won!
Happy training!
