MAP SAMPLES

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Competition will consist of 6 stations (6 flags on each) with 4-5 tasks on each station.
 

At each station the competitor will receive the maps with tasks. Control official will announce number of flags and tasks, for example "There are four/five tasks and six flags: ALPHA - BRAVO - CHARLIE - DELTA - ECHO - FOXTROT"  and start the clock, "Time starts NOW!" Only then may the competitor look at the map and start solving the tasks in a designated order. It is not allowed to move on to the next task without answering the previous one or return to the previously solved task.
Overall time needed to solve all tasks at the station is recorded.

ZERO/Z answers are possible (if none of the flags are at the correct position):

• - if the flag is not at the correct feature  
• - minimum distance from the flag to the correct position is at least 6 m (if you estimate the - correct position to be about 1m away from the placed flag, that is definitely NOT a zero answer)
• - The only possible exception to the above rule is if the flag is placed on the correct feature but in the direction at least 135° from the correct one  

The control official will warn the competitor 20 seconds before the time limit for that station expires.

The competitor must give clear answers using phonetic alphabet (Alpha - Bravo - ...) OR show the letter at the map. If the answer is given in both ways, showing the printed letter has the priority. Answers and overall time will be written on the control card. Competitors are advised to check the written answers before leaving the station. Late complaints with regard to the answer written on the card will not be considered.
 
After leaving the station, competitors will continue moving along the course, according to organizers' instructions, until reaching the next STOP sign and wait there until called.

After the last station, follow the organizers' instructions. Solutions will be given out after the last start. Competitors who finished the course shouldn't disturb the competitors still on the course.

In case of sunny weather (check the forecast), we suggest use of hats and sun creams (waiting in the shades, if possible, is advised).
