We are happy to announce the return of the BAOC Summer Series for another year. Similar to last year, this series of moderate-length events will be held from June through August on some of our more-urban and less-steep maps. Thus allowing us to continue orienteering, even during the hotter days of summer.
There will be six events this year, as listed below. Your best four of the six races will count toward your Summer Series Final Ranking.
Each event will include a "ranking" course (most likely in the form of a Middle-distance event, around 5 km), and another course more suitable for beginners. Some events may also include longer/alternative options for those folks not wanting to participate in the ranking event, and some events might offer more than one ranking course. See the webpage for each event for the details for that event.
All participants of the ranking events will be scored (based on time) alongside each other in a single league, using a handicapping system to account for age and gender. This is the same scheme we used in 2017 and last year (see below for details). The best four of six scores will be used in the final ranking. As in previous years, credit will be given for Course Setting and Event Directing.
More details about event locations and specifics are on the individual event webpages linked below.
We look forward to seeing you out there!
