There will be a National Team score based on the results of all three competitions accord-

ing to:

Middle & Long Distance: The two best results (positions) from each nation and class will

be counted. If any nation enters only one or no runner in any class, then the missing

runners will be counted by taking the maximum number of points (total number of start-

ers in that class) + 1.

Mixed Sprint Relay: The two best placed teams for each nation will be counted and their

positions will be multiplied by 4.

The National Team with the lowest sum after the three competitions will win the National

Team results and will be crowned Junior European Cup Team Champions 2018.

Punching system

Sport-Ident SI-Air (SIAC) punching system will be used in all races.

SIAC-cards can be rented at the event office for CHF 5 for all races. After the long dis-

tance they have to be returned at the event office.

However, normal SI-cards can be used as well but need to be put into the stations hole.

Rented SIAC-Cards which are lost will be charged with CHF 90 per card.

Gps tracking and live results

See http://www.tulospalvelu.fi/gps/ and http://results.picotiming.ch for all JEC races.

tion). All common age and difficulty classes are offered. Entry to official classes need to

train / bus connections exist to all competition and training sites. For a few persons, pub-

lic transport might be a convenient solution, however be aware of expensive ticket

prices. For large teams, rental cars / mini-busses might be more economical.
