Registration for Advanced Events & Sprints
In order to attend an Advanced or Sprint event it is important that you pre-register so that we will print a map for you. We would like you to register by noon on the Friday before the event, but it is better to register late than to just show up at the event not registered. (You may have to wait for someone to finish so you can use their map.) Don’t forget to Cancel your registration if it turns out you can’t attend the event. Cancel even at the last minute – it may open up a map for a late registrant.
Advanced Events
To attend Advanced Events you must:
- pre-register by noon on the Friday before the event
(unless otherwise stated in the announcement) - be a Backwoods Orienteering Klub member
- own a finger stick
- have succeeded at the Brown level or above.
Sprint Events
To attend Sprint Events you must:
- pre-register by noon on the Friday before the event
(unless otherwise stated in the announcement) - have succeeded at the Orange level or above
Cancelling Your Registrations
If you have registered and then change your plans you should check “NO” under “Attending Event” and register for the same event again. The “No” registration will cancel out your original registration. You can cancel your registration right up to the morning of the event. This is important because it may save the event director from making a special trip to the printer to print extra maps.
