Map of the 3rd stage:
Very special double-sided map. Part of the controls can be found on the face of the map from the 19th century, the rest on the reverse, consisting of a collage of two strips of the 19th century map around the edges and a cut-out of the 18th century map in the middle. This work was mapped by an officer on horseback, so logically it bears little resemblance to the more modern version. With a bit of imagination you can certainly rise to the challenge.

Transport and parking: We strongly recommend individual car transport. Free parking lot at the event centre.
Clothes changing and toilets: No changing room will be available, please change in your car or in your lodging room. Use the public toilets at the restaurant or at the information centre.
Accommodation: Participants accommodated in the monastery have to keep the main gate locked! Before the start leave your key at the registration desk.
Registration instructions: All team members must come to the registration desk to check SI chip, pick up team envelope with meal coupons, and sign an indemnity form. Please find your team ID in the indemnity form and report it to the organizer in order to ease the process.

Time measurement and punching system: SportIdent system will be used for goal time measurement only.
!!! Each team runs with one SI chip !!!
Check point numbers, their point values and punching instruction will be shown in CP descriptions. In most cases you will copy a code (letter/number) from a plastic warning tape to the relevant field of your punching card. Use your own permanent marker.
Punch the goal SI unit and read out your SI card at the registration desk. Hand in your paper punching card there too.
Team evaluation:

Control points will be marked on the map using a number, and they will be assigned between 30 and 100 points in the descriptions. The number and order of control points is up to discretion of each team (go-as-you-please). The three best complete teams in each category will be awarded. Team skipping a stage will be awarded by 0 points and 0 minutes. The final ranking of a team depends on the sum of the points gained during the all three stages. In case of the equal point result the better time wins.

Teams exceeding time limit will be charged by a point penalty for each minute exceeded:

  • Friday April 19 Night 2 hour rogaine – 10 points
  • Saturday April 20 Traditional 5 hour rogaine – 20 points
  • Sunday April 21 Historical 4 hour rogaine – 20 points

Exceeding time limit by more than 30 minutes results in 0 point team result at a stage.

Compulsory equipment:
  • SI chip
  • permanent marker for CP punching
