[roc-info] Score-O and White course at Highland Park tonight!

[Laurie Hunt]

Highland Park Score-O ... with a twist!

Starting at the parking lot of the former Cooperative Extension Building on Highland Avenue, between South Avenue and Goodman. 

What is Score-O? Score-O format means that you will receive a map marked with many control circles, indicating the location of the flags in the park. You can go in any order and have a specified time limit (in this case 60 minutes) to find as many flags (controls) as you can. If you return after the deadline for each minute that you are late you will be penalized severely! Wear a watch to keep track of your time carefully. 

We will also offer a White course.

Please COME EARLY so that everyone can get started on time.

 White (beginner) course starts between 6:30 and 6:45

 Score-o maps handed out at 6:30

 Score-o mass start at 6:45

 Both courses have a 60 minute time limit and close at 7:45pm. Parking and starts at the old Cooperative Extension building on Highland Avenue.

Two courses --

White ... with a twist! 
Controls 1-8 are close to paths and can be visited in order for those new to orienteering. The twist? There will also be several additional controls a little farther off the paths - the more adventurous can visit these for a higher score!

Score-O ... with a twist! 
Challenge yourself to cover the whole park in a traditional score-o, where the goal is to decide which controls to visit and in which order so as to maximize your score. The twist? Bonus points for those who like strategy! (Come to the event to find out the details...)


We will also have a try-on kit for those who wish to order the new ROC club shirt. Laurie will be there at 5:30 with the try-on shirts. Come early if you'd like to order a shirt. Cost to members will be $50 (non-members $70.) Orders are due by July 15th to Laurie Hunt.
