Here are some of the frequently asked questions:
1. When is the first start?
Check Invitation section for this information.
2. May we get early or late start?
Yes, you may ask for early, late or separate start. Please write down your request in the “Special comment” column in Online entry form at OrienteeringOnline entries. This service is free of charge. In Special comment you can also write any other remark that you feel we should know about.
3. What is my course length and difficulty?
Expected winning times will be published later. Here are some notes about course difficulty:
MW10, MW12, Beginners – very easy, mostly paths and meadows if available.
MW14-MW16, MW21B – medium technical difficulty, often with some easier section.
MW18 – MW70 – technically difficult. On courses for older classes we try to avoid the roughest terrain but still keep the technical difficulty.
OPEN A: Difficult long (similar to M35).
OPEN B: Difficult shorter (similar to M55).
OPEN C: Medium (similar to M14),
Beginners-Inskoling (as easy as possible)
