I sent this message to all competitors via EventReg, but I'm not sure everyone got it.
It’s time to start forming relay teams for the September 8 Sprint Relay at the US National Orienteering Championships. The deadline for team submittals is 8:00 PM Saturday night before the event, but we’d appreciate it if you can get your submittals in earlier. Please reply to jeff.lanam@baoc.org with the following information:
Team Name:
Class: Open 0 Point, Club 0 Point, Open 4 Point, Club 4 Point, Open 8 Point, Club 8 Point
Leg 1 Runner:
Leg 2 Runner:
Leg 3 Runner:
To be in a Club class, all runners must be members of the same OUSA club.
Each runner is given a number of points depending on age and sex. The point values are shown on the table in page 14 of the event Bulletin 1.
http://baoc.org/wiki/images/0/09/2019_U.S._Nationa...The team point value is the sum of the three runners’ points. You can run in a lower class, but not a higher one. That is, a six-point team can run in a 0- or 4-point class, but not an 8-point class.
For each class, the courses will be approximately the same length and technical difficulty. The technical difficulty of 8-point courses may be slightly less that the others. There will be forking.
If you need help forming or finding a team, please let me know. I’ll try to match you up.
