Short, Technical

This event had an unusual format. It had a massed start where only four controls appeared on the map which was handed out. These four controls were deemed to be master controls which were each associated with five slave controls. The five slave controls were shown on a master map located at its master control and these had to be copied. Ten points were scored for each control punched but penalties were awarded if a slave control was found by chance and punched before punching its master. The overall time limit was 40 minutes with penalties applied if you returned to the finish late. Given that the slave controls were distributed all over the area rather than in clusters, there was plenty of opportunity to run around the area several times.
