Supervisor Course

As terrain is quite hard for younger orienteers then we do not have regular courses for MN8 and 10 groups this time. For children in age 8-11 years we offer orienteering experience with supervisor from organizers without ranking. Preliminary registration till April 25 2011 is required.

Young orientieers are going to course in groups. Size of group and exact start time for each group will be displayed in start lists. To cover distance takes max 1 hour. If someone prefer to go to course with own supervisor/guide then it will be solved similarly to open courses. Note! Guide who will participate in competition must follow fair play rules - supervisor course after own competition.

Rules for the competition

The SPORTident electronic punching system will be used.

 

Start

Pre-start time is 2 minutes on each day. Runners will start from next to map.

Control are printed to the front side of the maps.

Start interval is 2 minutes. At the start signal the competitors may cross the start line, take the map and begin their course via the start control.

Late start. Competitors who arrive late to the start have to ask help from the start official. Starting later is possible until the last competitor will start.

Control time: 1st day – 2 hours, 2nd and 3rd day – 2 hours and 30 minutes.

 

Punching at the controls

Punching at the controls, by placing the SI-card into the hole on top of the control unit, the competitor will get a confirming visible and/or audible signal from the electronic control unit confirming the registration. The competitor is responsible for punching at the correct control. If the punch did not register the competitor must use the manual punch in the R-boxes on the map, R1, R2, R3 or into the edge of the map on lack of the reserve boxes. A lost SI-card will result in disqualification.

 

Finish

The finish time will be taken through a punch at the finish line. After the finish punch the competitor continues through the finish chute to another punch unit, where the information from the SI-card will be read out. Competitors, who have used manual punching, must inform the finish officials after emptying their SI-card. The hired SI-cards must be returned to a finish official as soon as they have been emptied on the last competition day. Result list with split-times will be given to competitors in finish area.

When a hired SI-card will lose, it costs 30 EUR.
