Rules for Goat and
Half Goat 2010 |
|
The event will be a mass start at 11 am, with map pick up at start time.
|
All participants must carry a whistle and a watch.
|
The course will be the same for both the Full and Half Goat on the
first map (1:10,000). The second map (1:10,000) for the Full Goat will
be given out at the map exchange at the end of the first loop.
If you are continuing to the second loop do not punch the finish
control, punch the regular control instead! Following
is permitted – at your own peril.
|
Controls 1, 2, 3, & 4 will be in a box drawn on the map. These may
be visited in any order. Use the pin punch to punch the edge of
your map for these 4 controls only.
|
All other controls must be punched with SI card in numerical
order, with the exception that one control from each map
may be skipped. Women may skip 2 controls on each map (for a total of 4
skipped for the full goat or 2 for the half goat). Skipped controls may
not be done consecutively.
|
Water will be available on the course at locations marked on
the map by a cup symbol, but it is advisable to carry your own water
and snacks.
There is only one water station on the second loop.

All participants - Goat and half Goat should check in by 3pm; controls
will be picked up from this section soon after this deadline.

IMPORTANT SPORTident NOTE for full Goat
participants: when you finish the first loop, do NOT punch
the finish control; instead, punch the regular control and pick up your
second loop map. It is your
responsibility to make sure you pick up a second loop map and not
someone else's used first loop.
Don't punch in at the finish control until you
have finished!
IMPORTANT SPORTident NOTE for full Goat
participants who have an SI 5 (including all rentals): if you decide to NOT
skip any controls and make a mistake, you could be in danger of running
out of space on your SI 5 card - not a problem with a colourful SI 6. |
Full Goat participants who reach the map exchange after
3 pm
will not be given their second map and should punch the finish control
and report to the download station. They may ask for a $10 refund.
