Punching system: Electronic punching system SportIdent. Controls, including the finish line, will be set to the BEACON contactless punching mode, allowing punching at a distance of up to 0.5m.
SI chips of series 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 or SIAC can be used during the race.
!!! Each team member must have their own SI card!!!
You can order SIAC hire in the application form (hire fee 150 CZK/person, in case of loss of the chip we will charge 1000 CZK).
Catering: Details will be specified later.
Race rules: Controls are marked on the map and control descriptions with a code. The first digit of the code, multiplied by 10, indicates the control's point value. For example, at checkpoints 40 to 49 you will get 40 points, checkpoints 70 to 79 have a point value of 70, etc. Any number of controls can be visited in any order.
Punching a control is registered by inserting the SI card into the SI stamping unit (it must flash and beep). The control is equipped with an orange and white kite measuring 30×30 cm, an SI unit and a red and white plastic strip with the control number and a letter - in case of electronic punching failure, you must write this letter down instead.
The team's position in the overall ranking is determined by the points achieved, and in the event of a tie, the lower time achieved. If the time limit is exceeded, 20 points will be deducted for each minute of delay. If the time limit is exceeded by 30 minutes or more, the team will be not be included in the final rankings.
