EVENT DETAILS :
Filling Station-O, a combination of Score-O, Memory-O and Foto-O
Score-O - This means choose your own route, visit controls in any order.
You do not have to go to #1 first.
Time Limit is about-one-hour. Penalty points begin after 65 minutes.
Bonus points awarded to those returning within 55 minutes or less.
One point for Controls #1 thru 19
Two points for the beach controls, # 20 and #21
Filling Stations - At the three large triangles (Start symbol); is where you ‘gas up’. Class A runners must memorize at least one of these sites now, before the 1:00 start.
At each site is a Master Map with IOF Descriptions and 17 numbered circles (control sites). Class B runners may draw circles on their map at this point, if they so wish; but it might be quicker to just use their Memory-O skills.
Foto-O - 21 controls are hung in the terrain; but only 17 circles are drawn on
the Master Maps. To find the missing four, you will need to study the photos
displayed in Refreshment Room or else have lots of good luck.
