Farewell Predator-O, Bonjour Summer Solstice!

Due to difficulties planning a Predator-O for the range of abilites attending, we have pivoted to another Ottawa favorite: the Summer Solstice format.

The Summer Solstice is an adjusted Score-O.

In a standard Score-O there are a number of controls scattered about the map that you can visit in any order – but there is a time limit. Everyone starts at the same time and the more controls you get, the more points you get. But if you run out of time, it will cost you!

From there it gets complicated! But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Adjustments will be pre-calculated and printed on your Race bib. All you need to do is a bit of simple math to decide how many controls to visit!

Adjustments

Using an adjusted scoring system gives everyone a chance end up on top. Your adjustment is based on your age and gender. You will be given credit for the number of controls equal to your adjustment. For example, with 28 controls on the course and an adjustment of 5, you will only have to get 23 controls in order to get max points.

Additionally, returning early gets you bonus points, and running late earns a penalty.

NOTE: Visiting additional controls is allowed but you will not get extra points for them.
