Ski Orienteering at Teacup Nordic Event Description
The race format is Score O with individual starts: visit as many controls as you can in 90 minutes from the time you start. Controls have different point value depending on difficulty. Highest score wins, and the finish time is used to break ties.
The game of this type of orienteering event is to maximize your score based on how fast and how far you would like to travel. A smart route choice is usually one that minimizes the distance travelled to reach as many controls as possible. Figuring out which controls to skip is part of the puzzle. Beginner and Intermediate skiers: be aware of steep downhill trail sections. These are marked on the map and they may affect your route selection.
Rules:
- Obey One-Way and Do Not Enter directional signs. The one-way trails are also marked on the map
- 10 point penalty per minute for late finish after 90 minutes.
You may participate as an INDIVIDUAL or as a GROUP (2-6 members)
