PRIZE GIVING

The winners of all classes on each day and the 1st-3rd place winners overall will be avarded prizes.

The overall results will be determined by calculating the number of points scored by the competitor on each day and summing them together. The score on each day will be calculated as follows:

In sprint and PreO courses – by dividing the number of correct answers of the competitor with the best result and multiplying it by 100. The answers on timed controls in PreO will not count towards the score.

In TempO the best result in the elite and beginner classes will be subtracted from the maximum possible time (maximum allowed time in all stations plus maximum penalty time) to get the coeffient K. Each participants score will be calculated using the formula 100 - 100 × (competitors time - best time) / K.

The results of competitors in the junior classes will also be included in the results of the open classes.
