Event Summary

The event will be similar to a map adventure in that participants will
answer a question for points at each control in a scatter-O. The answer to
each question may be found on the club history board created by Laurie Hunt
for the past club history display at the North American Orienteering
Championships. Study up because there will be prizes! Nine pictures of the
display are available on our website for study ahead of the event at
http://roc.us.orienteering.org/#pta58983000. If you pick any of the large
thumbnails (double tap on a mobile device) you can then scroll down and pick
the image again and it will display in high resolution. We cannot post the
photos to facebook because it compresses them beyond legibility. The poster
board will also be available to study at the meetings before the event.

 

Each participant will be given a map of a scatter-O orienteering course of
ten controls. The start will be a mass start. The time limit will be one
hour with a 10 point/minute late penalty. The difficulty of the course will
be white to yellow. At each control there will be a question in multiple
choice format, the answer to which may be found on the club history board.
Participants may use their phone to view the board during the race, but with
only six minutes per control it is highly advised that the board is well
studied beforehand.

 

Questions will be in the format of multiple choice of three choices. The
choices will be labeled with e-punch numbers corresponding to three e-punch
boxes located at each control. Choices are made by punching one or two of
three e-punches located at each control. The scoring for responses will be
10 points for correct answers punched and minus 5 points for each incorrect
answer punched. Punching only the correct answer of the three choices at
each question will be worth 10 points. Punching one right answer and one
wrong answer through elimination of one wrong answer will give 5 points
(plus 10 points minus 5 points). Punching only two wrong answers will give
minus 10 points. Finally, punching all answers at a control will result in a
score of zero for that control.

 

Blinds will be installed over the e-punch boxes to prevent participants from
seeing the punch responses of other participants. Use your body to blind
your responses as well.

See you there!

Greg Michels, Meet Director
