WELCOME TO THE 2016 MID-ATLANTIC REGIONAL ORIENTEERING MEET

Rocky Ridge County Park

Sunday - October 16, 2016

Hosted by Susquehanna Valley Orienteering

GENERAL ITEMS

-------------

- Start times between 10 and 1. No preregistration required but it

would be useful if people could send me (whitmore@stsci.edu) an

email with name, course, club, and electronic punch number to help

speed registration if possible. You can pay when you arrive.

- Electronic punching. Register your memory card number at

registration if you have one or borrow one if you do not. $40 fee

for lost cards.

- A 3-person relay will begin at ~2 PM. Relay legs 1 and 3 will be

advanced level while leg 2 will be yellow/orange level. Legs are

between 2 and 3 km with spectator controls on all courses.

SIGN UP YOUR TEAM FOR THE RELAY BY 1:00 PM.

We will use a points framework similar to the US Relay to handicap

the relay (e.g., a 25 year old male is worth 0 points while a 50

year old female is worth 4 points - see below). There are three

categories for scoring - 3pt (or less) teams, 6pt (or 4 or 5) teams,

and 9 pt (7 pt and above) teams

- Club championship (the Broken Compass award to the winning club) scored by

o number of club participants/number of members > total = 100 points

o top 8 on Br,G,R,B courses 10,8,6,5,4,3,2,1 > total = 156

o top 6 on W,Y,O courses 8,6,4,3,2,1 > total = 72

o top 4 in 3pt, 6pt, 9pt relays 3 x (20,15,10,5) > total = 150

---

sum = 478

NOTES

- If a person runs on more than one course, only their highest counts.

- Awards. 1st place on each course/gender (cookies) around 2:15 (after

start of relay) , and the Broken Compass award (if we can find it)

around 3:30.

COURSE SETTERS NOTES - Mike Bertram

Although this has been a dry summer for Rocky Ridge the undergrowth

is still green, too green as far as I am concerned. So you might

want to make route choices using the more open woods. The map does

reasonably the reflect the state of the vegetation.

Please be cautious while crossing roads, especially during the relay

where there are a lot of road crossings.

------------------

Relay:

Course 1, advanced 2.5 km / 60 m

Course 2, intermediate(y/o) 2.2 km / 50 m

Course 3, advanced 2.7 km / 80 m

-------------------

Points handicapping system for relay:

• Ages 17-20 or 40-49 count as 1 point

• Ages 15, 16 or 50-59 count as 2 points

• Under 15 years of age or 60 and older count as 3 points

A female orienteer adds 2 more points, in addition to any age points.
