Details

Description:There are three courses, and each team will need to select one of their members for each course. The courses are 30, 40 and 50 minutes score courses. (If you are not familiar with score courses, see below for an explanation.) As shown below, the 30 minutes course will attract a higher points value per control than the 40 minutess course which, in turn, will attract more points per control than the 50 minutes course. Teams will need to evaluate the best use of their members to maximise their final points total. 30 minutes course – 15 points per control 40 minutes course – 12 points per control 50 minutes course – 10 points per control All competitors will use the same map (showing all the controls) and will have the option of visiting the same set of controls ..... although, as explained above, the number of points earned by visiting each control will depend on which of the three courses you're doing. Penalties will be incurred in the form of lost points 20 points for each minute or part minute for each late finisher in your team. On completion of their course, each competitor should punch the Finish and go straight to download as soon as they get there. There is no need to wait for your other team members before punching at the Finish.
