 IMPORTANT NOTICES

 

  1. In accordance with the CR 2023, the mandatory time-keeping system is using a SIAC combined with Air+ stations. The only backup in the event of failure of the SIAC and/or the station is to punch the map. Each competitor may take 2 SIACs, should he/she so wish, in which case the competitor must enter the number of the additional SIAC in the field “Obs” in  OriOasis.

  2. In accordance with the CR 2023, open classes have an assigned starting time, but competitors are allowed to start until the end of all starts (last starting time assigned) using the Start station and subject to not disrupting the competitors that are leaving on time (same rules as for late starts). Due to compelling safety reasons, the organiser strongly recommends that no competitor in a open class starts on the last possible assigned starting time of the Long Distance course, save if he/she is an experienced MTB and Orienteering athlete, and asks all competitors in open classes to respect their assigned starting times.

  3. In accordance with the CR 2023, E-bikes may race in open classes, but will not be classified.
