Please park at the Bond Park Community Center, off of High House Rd. in Cary. Do not park by the lake, the park will close the main gate.

We will start at 8:00PM # (that means SHARP). We will gather in the parking lot around 7:45PM.

Please check the web site for possible time changes.

Below are the combined Individual and Team results as well as splits per race.  For some reason, we couldn’t get the sprint to be all one file.  There are still some anomalies in the display of  splits where people punched an extra punch or missed one and they aren’t aligned under the proper columns.  The ‘best times’ under each class shows the best split time per control and the cumulative time of the person in 1st place as of that control.

If you still see any errors that you can help us correct, please let us know.

These courses have been certified for length by Coach Bob Turbyfill and are accredited for navigation certificates.

The start times for the Sycamore Scramble are now posted online.

It looks like the weather is going to cooperate.  The forest is amazingly clear, the times should be very fast, and you can probably even keep your shoes dry.

We are looking forward to a great event.

But the rules don’t specifically prohibit you from carrying one if you don’t use it during the event.

USOF Rules Regarding Aids to Navigation:

• 36.             Equipment and aids
• 36.3     During the competition only a compass and the map provided by the organizer may be used for navigation.
• 36.3     Personal aids not used directly for navigation are permitted. (e.g. magnifying glass, flashlight, cane, eyeglasses)
• 36.4     The use of any navigation aid other than a compass is prohibited. (e.g. transport, electronic apparatus, radio, pedometer, altimeter)

On a practical level at the Sycamore Scramble if you wish to carry a GPS unit that has a display that shows any navigational information*, and doesn’t talk, and you don’t want to take the chance of being disqualified if someone protests you (particularly if you win):

• At the Start, you should present it to the Start Official who will tape and seal your display.
• At the Finish you must present it to the Finish Official who will confirm and record that the seal is intact before you exit the finish chute .
• Then you may remove the tape.

We will use 3M blue painters tape, and you should confirm that this tape is safe for your display.  BOK will not be responsible for damage to your GPS unit from these procedures.

*Navigational information includes, but is not limited to: location, speed, distance, altitude, direction traveled, range or bearing to a point

The different features you will visit if you take the Model Event.

You can pick up your map at the Hampton Inn Hotel Desk (even if you are not staying at the hotel).  Maps are $5 each.  You will sign for your map at the hotel desk, and then pay the $5 at the event registration when you pick up your packet.  The model event starts between the two main picnic parking areas.  It is 1.8K in length and has 8 controls.

Shuttle trips can be arranged at the desk if you are staying at the Hampton Inn Brier Creek.

The Model event visits a collection of features that are similar to those used in the competitive events.  While you are navigating please keep in mind that some of the very large recent rootstocks are not not the map while older rootstocks that are now smaller do show on the map.

To make up one of these new teams the members of the team must be from the same Club, College (including alumni), School, State, OR other classification deemed acceptable by the Chief Scrambler.  Obviously the Jr. Scrambled are all juniors, although exceptions can be made by the Chief Scrambler.

Teams will consist of 3-5 members with the top three times in each event counting toward the total time.  Any combination of courses can be on any team.

To register your team, email the Chief Scrambler by Thursday, Feb 18, 2010, and include the name of your team, the members of your team, and what classification you fit under.  Names must be 40 characters or less and include your classification  detail.  i.e. college teams should have the college in the name and state teams should have the state in the name.
