Event Description

This score-O event explores a new housing community that has interesting routes between neighborhoods and through various parks. You have 60 minutes to find as many controls as possible in any order. Keep track of your time; there is a point penalty for finishing late. You can choose either the MapRun phone app or a Q&A sheet to take credit for each control found (we recommend using MapRun, which is faster and easy to use).

​

You may do your course as an individual or as part of a team, but if you are part of a team, you must remain with your team at all times while competing.

 

Your placement in the results is dependent on the total number of points that you earn for controls found. Tie scores are broken by time on the course. The point value of each control is determined by the tens digit on the control number (for example, control 38 is worth 30 points).
