Sprint-O
Event Director: Karl Ahlswede
Course Setter: Karl Ahlswede
Notes: Start window is 4-7PM
ED/CS Notes:
Please join us for an afternoon and evening of sprint orienteering at Fort Washington State Park. We will have the courses up by 4:00pm and taken down starting at 7:00pm.
We will be using updated maps but please be aware that this park is undergoing vegetation changes very often due to the heavy use of disc golfing. There are many new open areas. We have tried to map these as accurately as possible. Some of the cages used for disc golfing are mapped but there are a great deal that are not mapped.
There are trail options for all route choices and leg coverings are not mandatory. There are some areas of green that may offer a route choice advantage where leg coverings would be needed.
Sprint One is a beginner friendly course that offers route choice challenges. Map scale will be 1:5000.
Sprint Two has a section of the course that is partially a Micro Sprint format. Orienteers will start on a course on a map with 1:5000 scale and after the 4th control will use the micro sprint map on the back for the next 16 controls. The micro sprint has a map scale of 1:750 and the SI control boxes will be on the ground with an orange flag attached. The standard orienteering flag will not be used. After finishing the micro sprint section the orienteers will return to using the 1:5000 map for the remainder of the course. The micro sprint section will require orienteers to switch techniques in orienteering where accurate map reading and compass reading will be useful.
Sprint Three will be primarily a Micro Sprint that uses the same format as Sprint Two.
