Summary of Tournament Format

Here is a summary of the (complicated) Sprint Tournament. The results of the competition are presented in the Sprint results below.

  • There were three orienteering Courses, numbered 1, 2, and 3.
  • Each Course had two Variations, A and B.
  • There were three Rounds to the tournament: Prelim, Semi, and Final, each on one of the three Courses.
  • Competitors were grouped into three Divisions with eight competitors in each, based on estimated relative performance regardless of age and gender.
  • Each Division constituted a separate competition or Race with its own Rounds and final placing.
