 Each flag is numbered and has a hole punch attached that has a unique pattern of holes to identify the point. You use it to punch your score card in the correct place for each numbered marker. This is how you show that you have found the correct markers. (You must be sure that you find the markers that are designated for YOUR course.)

 After finding each marker you'll orient your map and head off to find the next flag. On the easier courses you may be able to orient yourself with terrain association (comparing the map to the land around you). |

 On the more difficult intermediate and advanced courses your compass will be invaluable and your ability to use your map and compass may be the only way you can complete the course. The routes may be almost entirely cross-country - challenging mentally and physically - and markers may be harder to find.

 Orienteering is always a fun challenge on any course! Once you have found all of your flags you must head to the finish line to complete your course.

 At the finish line your time will be recorded and you must turn in your map and control card so that each of the holes you punched can be checked for accuracy. |

 Race times are posted as soon as the times are checked and the punches verified. The scores for both course (one Saturday and one Sunday) are added together to arrive at your final score for the event.
