The main attraction of this event is a Team Score Event based on a Harris Relay.
All members of the team start together, preferably at the mass start. Every individual must visit certain controls.
In addition, each team must, between them, collect ALL the remaining controls. Any duplication or missing controls will be given a harsh time penalty.
Each team needs to decide how to split the controls between them after they have started.
Teams should have 3 members. Each member of the team will be handicapped according to age class.
In addition, there will be White, Yellow and Orange conventional courses.
Final details including Rules of the Team Score Relay can be found here.
