Welcome to Race 1 in the Map Mates Series! There are 4 races in the series for teams of 2 to 4 juniors, designed to introduce you and your friends to this great sport! Each team is allowed one member aged between 14 and 20, but the others must be 13 or under (as at 31/12/15).
Prizes for series winners plus random draws at Race 1 and Race 4. Bonus points for participating parents (Race 2) and team uniforms (Race 3). Mystery bonus points announced at Race 3.
There are two courses available for Map Mates - easy and very easy. If this is your first orienteering event, please enter the very easy course. If you have done orienteering before you may prefer to enter the easy course. Both events are worth the same points for Team scoring purposes.
How to score points: Each team member who completes their course will score points. Points will depend on the number of entrants. If there are 20 entrants, the winner will get 20 points, then 19, 18 and so on down to 1 point for 20th place. If there are 60 entrants, the winner will get 60 points!
The winner will be calculated on their km rate. If you run 1,5km in 15 mins you have a km rate of 10 mins/km. If you run 1.5 km in 30 mins, your km rate is 20 mins/km. The fastest km rate will win.
There are also 3 Street O events for those not competing in the Map Mates series (Short, Medium and Long).
