    Really well done event!
    • Good use of a Sprint map - they age quickly, so it was excellent to explore it widely, while it's fresh!
    • Excellent Questions - The categories and level of questions were a great fit to the orienteering crowd - with plenty of variety and difficulty challenges, and some funny choices of answers for a quick smile, amongst the scramble to cover as much ground as possible.
    • Profressionally organized - I was wondering how the 48*4-choice 'punch cards' would work - and you exceeded expectations for how usable that was - along with laminated question cards to make it all possible regardless of weather!

    This event was super fun! I love this park and the Jeopardy questions were a nice twist. I always enjoy the events that shake up the format.

    I took a handful of photos throughout the course which can be found here

    Thank you very much Tom for this event.

    In addition to all of the smooth logistics, I was really impressed with the questions.  Writing good multiple choice questions and different anwers is really hard (or answers and different questions I guess since this was Jeopardy-style?).  I liked the mix of funny answer options and true distractor options.  And the questions were a nice length so you didn't get cold reading. 

    Liked the challenge of planning a route through the plentiful controls on the fly (I think having no pre-reading of the map time for this event was a good choice).  Also fun to see all the corners of the map. 

    Thanks again!

    Sam
