SMOC Fest = Score O, Knock Out Sprints, & Food
Notes from first time Meet Director Beth Banker:
This is a fun, unique orienteering event, designed for beginners and families, but with a speed challenge for our not-so- beginners.
11:30-12:30 - arrive, check in, get your map and do the 3ish km Score-O. *Once you are ready to start, you will clear and check your SI stick and grab your map. You may have 3-5 min. to look over the map to plan your basic route choices. (THOSE WHO WANT TO QUALIFY TO MOVE ON TO SPRINT RACES MUST BE FINISHED THE SCORE-O BY 12:45)
(SCORE-O = 3ish k max)
12:30ish - food available (Thanks to our grill master Todd!)
1:00 - Rankings/seedings of people interested in the sprint races will be announced so people can choose which heat to race in–or more importantly, which PERSON to race (or not race) against.
Round 1 = 2.5 k and heats will start around 1:30
The top 1 or 2 racers from each heat (depending on how many participants there are) will move into round 2, which will hopefully start by 2:15.
