Terrain and maps

Mainly open and semi-open terrain with middle sized landforms and lots of vegetation objects at TempO and
SprintO courses.
Mainly brand forest terrain with middle sized landforms and good visibility at PreO courses.
Terrains maps were used for foot orienteering events, never used for TrailO events. Latest foot orienteering
maps of the terrain can be found here:

https://maps.trails.lt/maps/losf527.jpg - TempO, SprintO
All maps: 1:3000, contour interval 2,0m, waterproof, mapped using Lidar base and will be revised at March 2024
by Andrius Jovaiša. Laser scans are used in mapping process with contours 0.5m. All vegetation objects are
precisely mapped. All white areas represent tree canopy (not trunk) configuration.
The TempO and SprintO competitions will be held in public areas with pedestrians and possible cyclists, so
keep attention on the situation around you.
The map, and solutions will be available only after the last competitor starts and they will be taken over by
referees at finish.
Punching
ToePunch system will be used for registration of answers and for time keeping at PreO1, PreO2 and SprintO
competitions. In addition competitor will get a paper punching card at the start for backup punching which is not
mandatory. Please, bring your own puncher. Some punchers will be possible to borrow at prestart.
Punching can be made in free order. All punching stations across the course will be in controls number order
at the opposite side of the road. Please be careful as there can be pedestrians and possible cyclists around you.
Result entering in TempO competitions will be organized with mobile devices using ANT software and will be
duplicated to paper card.
Answer procedures:
We would like to save overall time spent on Time Controls so referees will optimize procedures on TCs. They
only ask you to choose loose or bound maps. They will expect that competitors will speak answers. When
somebody wants to show answers please inform them immediately after arriving on TCs. Referees will show you
all six flags and immediately start measuring time after sentence “Time starts now”. We expect good visibility of
flags.

PreO1: 850m, 22-27 controlls, 1 time control with 3 tasks.
PreO2 WRE:. 1450m, 28-30 controlls, 2 time controls with 3 tasks in each.
