Summer Street Series Basic Rules
In entering an orienteering event, competitors recognise that the activity has certain inherent risks due to its conduct in the urban and natural environments. Included in these risks are injury due to rough terrain and obstacles and the effects of heat, cold and exhaustion. Competitors are also aware that there is no personal accident insurance on their participation in the sport and that they take part at their own risk. The Full Policy is available here (pdf)
The course is a 45 minute score course.
Competitors will receive their map 2 minutes before their start time.
Official Start Times are between 5pm and 6:30pm
Course Closure is 7:25pm. Any competitors not back before then will be disqualified.
It is the competitor's responsibility to check results before leaving an event. Only in exceptional circumstances will results be changed after the competition day.
All private property and any other areas so marked on the map are out of bounds. Competitors found not observing this rule will be disqualified.
Guessing answers to control clues is considered poor etiquette (and is not in the spirit of the event).
All competitors must report to the finish (so that search parties are not sent out!)
A competitor's ten best results will be tallied to produce their overall series total (No points will be awarded for course setting).

No dogs will be allowed to compete so please keep your dogs safe and away from other competitors.
Listening to an ipod (or similar) while on course can be a distraction that may cause you to not hear an emergency warning or similar and as such are not allowed during these events for your safety.
