Information
<p><strong>--------------<br></strong></p><p><strong>Before registering for the event:</strong> <a href="https://2mev.com/#!/memberships/gvoc" target="_blank">purchase your 2022 membership here</a>.
We're using a new membership registration system this year - if you
face any issues or have feedback please let the team know at <a href="mailto:gvoc.membership@gmail.com">gvoc.membership@gmail.com</a><br></p><p>--------------<br></p><p>Here is a short score-O to be enjoyed while the fresh snow lasts.This <strong>self-serve, social distanced event</strong> is also an opportunity for us to test QR code timing with willing participants. Unlike MapRunF , the controls are not geo-referenced, so no GPS needed in this case. The phone app is just used for timing by scanning a QR code on the controls. As such the only time you need cell coverage is when you upload the course at the beginning, and then upload results at a later time. For punching controls/scanning, it will work without network.<br></p><p>It is recommended to use paper maps. However, once the Start controls is punched/scanned, the O map **should** be available from within the phone app as well. There are some reports though it does not always show up.</p><p><strong>The course</strong></p><p>Especially if new to this area of the map, this is a potentially intricate but short score-O near McCartney Creek golf course in North Vancouver. Since it is a score-O, you can always choose to focus on fewer controls.</p><p><strong>Target time 30 min </strong>(a bit tight perhaps)<strong> ; then minus 5 pts / min <br></strong></p><p><strong>~ 2.5km and 100m climb</strong><br></p><p><strong>Get a map ( Set up Code on the Map) ! >>> </strong><a href="mailto:scoreOdec2021@bluesystem.ca"><strong>Request a map here</strong></a><strong><strong> </strong></strong> (<span class="redactor-invisible-space">If you just want to do it without a paper map, just request the setup code</span>)<strong><strong><br></strong></strong></p><p><strong><strong>Start - Finish QRs as backup</strong></strong> (otherwise on the O sign at the start/finish location)<strong><strong> : <a href="https://data.whyjustrun.ca/files/8/3/igkDsR7Wye0ME4cabQiLIw.pdf" target="_blank">Start-Finish.pdf</a></strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>How does it work?</strong><strong><br></strong></p><p>Using iOrienteering App for timing: </p><table class="wsite-multicol-table"><tbody><tr><td>

These icy sections are obvious to see and avoid using the trail's sides. A few minor (flowing) creek crossing on the course as well. Spikes are not a bad idea, snow tracks are great, bare threads work too if you pay attention. You choose.</li><li>As of Jan 3: expect more slush during the day, more icy sections if /when it refreezes overnight. Spikes / snow tracks recommended.</li><li>It is rather nippy outside, so make sure you let someone know when you are going and are expected back. Or go with friends. </li><li><strong>Safety bearing: S or SW</strong></li></ul><p>These are not sanctioned events; we don't retain any
