- Classification System:
-
Each check point is marked on the map and in control descriptions and the value of each control is equal to its first digit times 10 (values vary from 20 to 90 points). The number and order of control points is up to discretion of each team (go-as-you-please). Passing of each control point has to be marked by inserting the SI card into the SI unit.
Each control point is marked by a white-orange control kite of size 30x30 cm, SI unit and punches (just in case of the SI unit failure). The final ranking of each team depends on the sum of the points gained. In case of an equal point result, the faster time wins.
Exceeding the given time limit results in penalization - each started minute equals to 20 points being taken away. If the time limit is exceeded by more than 30 minutes, the team will not be classified.
The first three teams in each competitive class will be announced at the prize giving and awarded a prize. There will be no prize giving in the non-competitive NEWCOMERS class – teams in the NEWCOMERS category will be awarded a participation acknowledgment.
