Explanation of Event levels

Training events are non competitive events used for training and coaching, aimed at members of the club, but they can attract people from neighbouring clubs, and are often ideal for newcomers to try the sport.

Each individual or team will be issued with one Dibber (if hired), one clue/answer sheet (issued pre-Start) and one course map (issued at the Start).
Example maps and clue sheets of previous events will be available to view.

Scoring: Controls are numbered 10 to 64. The first digit multiplied by 10 is the score value. Thus there are 10 x 10 points controls, 10 x 20, 10 x 30, 10 x 40, 10 x 50 and 5 x 60. The higher the score value, the greater the distance and/or difficulty.

Penalties: Finishing after your chosen race time limit incurs 1 penalty point for each 3 seconds you are late, equivalent to 20 points deducted per minute late.
