LONG STRAND

Sun 23  LONG STRAND, "Harris Pairs" Score Relays 

Planners Pat Murphy & Steve Perkins

There will be 6 courses, 3 score courses: Long, Medium and Short. There will also be 3 colour-coded courses: Green, Red and Orange.
Start times for the Score Courses will be 10.30 to 11.30.
Start times for the Colour Coded courses will be 10.30 to 13.00
The Score Courses will be for teams of two and will follow the Harris Type format.

Harris Type format
Each pair will start together and everyone will have identical maps. There will be “X” ‘spine’ controls that must be visited by BOTH members in the pair (but not necessarily together) and another “X” other controls that need only be visited by one member of the pair. There will also be one last control just before the finish that BOTH team members must also visit (not necessarily together). The time of the last member of the pair back at the finish will count as the team time. Controls may be visited in any order (except the last control, which MUST be the last control for each team member). It is up to the pair to decide how they work out what is the most efficient way of following the rules, according to their own capabilities. It’s a bit of fun!

Time penalties will be applied in the event of missed controls.

Time will be the deciding factor
