Explanation of Event levels

Directions / Parking
Irwell Works Brewery, BL0 9YQ.
Parking: Many options locally, please find your own, either on-street or car park. There may be a charge.
Map / Terrain
Street-O competition is on local streets, main roads, parks, ginnels, semi-rural areas and footpaths.
A plethora of industrial mill town streets, parkland and housing estates await. You're never too far away from an alley, cobbled path, hill or trail in this part of the World and this will be a definite test of thinking skills for those that enter.
Cobbled alleys, pavements, stairways and paths, some steep, may be slippery when wet or covered in leaf litter.
Wear suitable studded footwear.
The competition map is 1:10000, in simplified format.
Registration and Start times
Starts from 6:00PM to 7:00PM at minute intervals. You can choose your 15 minute start block when you enter the event.
Course Information
Start point: Irwell Works Brewery, BL0 9YQ
Each individual or team will be issued with one Dibber (if hired), one clue/answer sheet (both 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: The time limit is either 60 minutes or 75 minutes (choose when entering). Thereafter, on both courses, 1 penalty point will be deducted for each 3 seconds you are late, equivalent to 20 points deducted per minute late.
