Street Series 5

Wed 16 Mar

Near: Bampton
Level of event: Local

Type of event: Race, Score, Urban, Night

Sorry about the mis-colouring of one control number. I'm now back from DofE and starting to untangle the scores on the long course...

As it could equally have been interpreted as red or blue (the number was one and the circle the other) I will credit either way. Strictly, it is whether the number is odd or even that makes the difference, in case you ever find yourself in a similar dilemma.

Course Information

Two courses are offered, Long and Short, using exactly the same controls. You do not need to decide in advance which you will be doing.

Both are "Score" courses, meaning there isn't a set order to the controls you visit.

Short Score - the order of the controls you want to visit is entirely up to you.

Long Score - odds and evens format used. That is, there are two sets of controls, odd numbered controls and even numbered ones, one set tackled after the other. Once you switch to the second set, you cannot go back to the first set. The control circles on the map are coloured red on one set and blue on the other. The colours are meaningful only for the Long score.

The optimum routes are typically between 7.5 and 10 km for the long and 6 to 7.5 km for the short.

Each course has a time limit of 50 minutes.

Points will be deducted at a rate of 30 points per minute for each minute or part minute you're late back.

Points values for controls are variable and denoted by the first number of the control, e.g. 62 scores 60 points.
