ED/CS Notes:
This event will be a score-O format meaning you will get a map with all the controls marked on it and you can go to as many as you like in the time available. The time limit will be 90 minutes and it will be a mass start at 12 noon.
There will be a set of controls suitable for beginners, some more at an intermediate skill level and the rest at an advanced level.
You can go by yourself or in a group, go leisurely to a few or try to get to as many as you can. The only constraint is that you are back by 1:30pm.
Registration will open at 10:45am and close at 11:45. Maps will be handed out and final instructions given at that time. Late arrivals will be allowed to participate, but your start time will still be recorded as 12 noon and you must still return to the finish by 1:30pm.
There will be NO water on the course so please be sure to bring your own if you think you will need it.
Scoring:
- Controls 31-39 are each worth 1 point
- Controls 41-49 are each worth 3 points
- Controls 51-59 are each worth 5 points
- Penalties: Lose 2 points for every minute (or part of a minute) overtime.

Join us for a full set of courses plus a beginner’s class plus a Yes-or-No-O at Governor Dick!
Starts any time from 10AM to 1PM (Yes-or-No-O starts until 2PM). Control pickup will begin at 3PM.
There will be a Free Introduction to Orienteering Class at 11AM (after the class you can try out a course!)
Registration is on the porch of the environmental center, right next to the parking lot.
Courses will let you take your pick of the more open north side of the park, the rocky technical south side, or challenge your ability to adjust your orienteering approach by doing a mix of both!
In the Yes-or-No-O, some of the controls will not be placed in the correct spot marked on the map. Your goal is to complete the course only punching the correctly placed controls.
More detailed course notes will be posted on the e-board closer to the date of the event.
