From Meet Director Alex/Co Meet Director Jess
Map: Waterloo HQ. Area open to hunting, wear orange. State Park area, requires Michigan Recreation Passport.
Format: Score O, MASS START, 90 minute time limit.
Approximately 30 controls of varying point values ranging from beginner level near the start area to advanced far away. Amass as many points as you can within the 90 minute time limit. If you are late, points will be deducted for each minute or fraction thereof you are overtime. (Exact penalty rate TBA, but will be on the order of one or two controls per minute or fraction thereof.)
Time line
BEFORE 11:55 am. Arrive, park, check in, pick up map case and SI stick, and assemble in the start area. Be sure to arrive early enough to do all this BEFORE 11:55 am. If you arrive too close to the race start time, please expect to wait until after the race start to be checked in and started; you won't get credit for this time so please arrive correspondingly early. 11:30 is a good first thought here; swap score o strategies and warm up with any extra time!
11:55 am. Maps will be distributed face down. You may put your map in your maps case but are forbidden to look at the map. No peeking at the map.
11:59 am. Look at your map now, but do not move your feet.
12:00 noon. GO!
1:30 pm. Punch the finish by this time or begin losing points.
1:30 pm or earlier based on finishers. Flag pickup begins
Note: This is the day that daylight savings time ends. You do not want to arrive one hour earlier than necessary.
