Paunküla  October 21, 2017

The object of the competition is to score points by finding checkpoints located on the competition terrain. The value of the checkpoints varies, depending on the difficulty-distance from the event centre, from 2 to 6, and is equal to the decimal place of the checkpoint number. Checkpoints may be visited in any order.  The team together analyse the map and plan their strategy: the order of control points and the route between them. It is  compulsory to have a pen to mark it. Nevertheless, it is highly recommended to plan a route consistent with the time and skills of each team.

A team's score shall be the value of the checkpoints visited less penalties. 

Late returns are penaltised by deducting points: up to 1 minute — 1 point, for exceeding each next full minute — 1 point.
