Rules

• The object of the competition is to score points within 24-hour time limit by finding checkpoints located on the terrain and depicted on the competition map.
• The points value of a checkpoint is equal to the first digit of the checkpoint number. The points value depends on tactical reasons, difficulty and remoteness of the checkpoint.
• Checkpoints may be visited in any order.
• A team's score is the total value of the checkpoints visited by the team, less penalties. Late returns are penalized by deducting 1 point for every started minute. Teams finishing more than 30 minutes late are deemed ineligible for a placing. The team with the greater score, or in the event of a tie, the team which finished earlier, is awarded the higher placing.
• Members of each team shall remain within unaided verbal contact of one another at all times whilst on the course. A team shall demonstrate compliance with this requirement to any event official or other team on request. The competitors shall not deliberately rest within sight of a checkpoint.
• On the course, i.e. during the competition outside the event center, competitors can use only food or other supplies taken along from the event center. The only exception is drinking water offered by organizers. The only navigational aids that may be carried on the course are maps provided by organizers, own compasses and watches.
