O-rules (general
rules of conduct for orienteering - taken from USOF rules)

orienteering events (local or national) |
|

Orienteering for Beginners
video - show how e-punch works (from YOUTUBE)
Don't worry about the descriptive clue holder. The descriptive clues will be
printed on the map and the map handed out at the START. VOC will supply
the "dibbers", you supply your own compass.
If you loose your dibber, we will charge you $30 to replace it.
The video does not show what happens after the FINISH. You will be
directed to the results table where you will download the "dibber" to the
computer and turn in your "dibber".
You will then be supplied a copy of your split times for the course. |

Thank you to all who attended the 7th O-camp hosted by
VOC and Headland High School NJROTC. I hope everyone learned something
at the camp. We introduced electronic punching at the camp this time.
This should allow cadets to become familiar with the system and how it is
used by orienteering clubs. We will be using electronic punching at
the January 2007 VOC/NJROTC event. Thank you from the VOC....Joey,
James and Beth
Hope to see everyone in January 2007 ! |
