25 Days of SARTember - Day 1
Location: Lost in a Daze somewhere between Kirkland, WA and Bend, OR.
As a wise man once said, "Begin at the beginning." So where's the beginning? The
SART website, of course. First of all, how many orienteering events have their own website? WOC, I assume Jukola, Tiomila, etc. NAOC usually. Not too many others, I'll warrant - especially in North America. Most impressive.
And what's the best part of the website? Why, the
bracket - a true masterpiece in the underappreciated genre of orienteering-themed art. The beauty of the bracket is such that it swiftly organizes the madness into an intuitively comprehensible whole that's accessible to even the novice observer.
The bracket is sure to rapidly overcome March Madness as the most popular bracket throughout American society. In fact, the bracket is so cutting-edge that
other sporting organizations have already begun aping it for their own purposes.
What we can take away: Royal blue (coincidence?) = :) Orange = :(
That's all for today. Tomorrow: let's talk about maps.
