Estonian Orienteering Week 2017 Tartu, Estonia Bulletin 2 WELCOME TO ESTONIA! I am glad to welcome you to Estonia to attend the World Orienteering Championships in Tartu. I would encourage you to discover more of the cosiest country and our prettiest countryside with only 1,3 million inhabitants and 45 thousand square kilometres of land. Some call Estonia the smartest country as it produces more start-ups per capita than any other country in Europe. Our small country has become the best in e-democracy and e-government, being the first in the world to introduce online political voting. Needless to say, there is WiFi that covers nearly all of the territory. Estonians have an identity card that allows us to access over 1,000 public services online, like healthcare and paying taxes. Being one of the most digitally advanced nations in the world, we decided to start the e-residency project and letting people from around the world become digital residents of Estonia online. Here you can start a new company online fastest, just in under 20 minutes. We love innovation but we value our roots. Estonians have one of the biggest collections of folk songs in the world, with written records of 133000 folk songs. Our capital Tallinn is the best preserved medieval city in Northern Europe. You might say Estonia is also the greenest country as forests cover about 50% of the territory, or around 2 million hectares. It is one of the most sparsely populated countries in Europe, but there are over 2000 islands, 1000 lakes and 7000 rivers. Estonia is among the safest countries in the world as it lacks any real natural disasters. We also have the cleanest air in the world. Come here and take a rest! Meelis Mälberg Chairman of the Organising Committee President of Estonian Orienteering Federation

Estonian Orienteering Week 2017 Tartu, Estonia

Bulletin 2 WELCOME TO ESTONIA! I am glad to welcome you to Estonia to attend the World Orienteering Championships in Tartu. I would encourage you to discover more of the cosiest country and our prettiest countryside with only 1,3 million inhabitants and 45 thousand square kilometres of land. Some call Estonia the smartest country as it produces more start-ups per capita than any other country in Europe. Our small country has become the best in e-democracy and e-government, being the first in the world to introduce online political voting. Needless to say, there is WiFi that covers nearly all of the territory. Estonians have an identity card that allows us to access over 1,000 public services online, like healthcare and paying taxes. Being one of the most digitally advanced nations in the world, we decided to start the e-residency project and letting people from around the world become digital residents of Estonia online. Here you can start a new company online fastest, just in under 20 minutes. We love innovation but we value our roots. Estonians have one of the biggest collections of folk songs in the world, with written records of 133000 folk songs. Our capital Tallinn is the best preserved medieval city in Northern Europe.

WELCOME TO ESTONIAN ORIENTEERING WEEK 2017! Estonian Orienteering Week 2017 organiser’s aim is to offer a new experiences, emotions and competition arenas for the competitors. Last year, we organised the orienteering week with WMOC 2017 in North-Estonia. This year, we are organising it as a WOC 2017 spectator race in South-Estonia. You can run on the same terrains as the world champions do. EOW is like a big carnival for both participants and organisers. To organise a successful competition, it is important to plan the event carefully and know exactly what people expect from a good event. Only then we can be sure that we can offer the best for participants. Why should orienteers around the world take part in EOW? Because WOC is organised in Estonia for the first time ever and this is a fantastic way to support the athletes of your country! You will get a fantastic experience. WOC and EOW offer great terrains. It gets a good start in Tartu – a „City of Good Thoughts “-, the competition centre of the whole event. Tartu is a youthful university city, where there are many things to do also after competitions. In Tartu, EOW has a city sprint with very good runability. The centre of the event is the Song Cradle of Tartu near the city centre, where the WOC sprint is held.

Estonian Orienteering Week consists of 6 competitions. In addition to Tartu, there are sprint races also in Viljandi, with its steep climbs and ruins of an old castle. After sprint events, we go to forest distances, long and middle distances, where you should expect demanding terrains with detailed relief. Timmo Tammemäe EOW 2017 Event Director

Estonia is one of the smallest countries ever to organise the World Orienteering Championships and is wishing to use this chance to bring orienteering to a new level in Estonia in terms of visibility, level of athletes and the level of organisation.

To support this magnificent and awesome event, Estonian Orienteering Week will be the public event at the same time with WOC in the same terrains. Markus Puusepp WOC 2017 Event Director

It is possible to have a pre-registration for Open course as well as register for a course in EOW Event Centre and in the Arena Information Desk. Start times are brought out in the programme as the starting time is free to choose while the Start is open.

ELECTRONIC PUNCHING SYSTEM The SPORTIdent punching system will be used for all races. All models of SI-Card are accepted. Air+ Touch Free system is not activated in SPORTIdent stations and therefore classic direct punching must be used. SI-cards can be rented from the organisers by choosing this option in the entry form. The SI-card number and competitor name are connected each day at the competition start (similarly to Jukola, 10-mila and 25-manna) and therefore you do not need to provide the number of your SI-card at registration.

RENTED SPORTIDENT CARDS Renting fee for the entire week is €10 and single day €2 if booked in advance. Without pre-registration, the renting fee is €3 for one day or €15 for the entire week. Please return rented SI-card after passing the finish line or at the Information desk after your last race. A charge of €60 will be made for the loss or non-return of rented SI-cards. COMPETITION INFORMATION Competition Rules The competitions will be conducted under Competition Rules for IOF Foot Orienteering Events (2017 Edition). Copies of these can be downloaded from http://orienteering.org/foot-orienteering/rules . Fair Play All competitors shall behave with fairness and honesty. During the races athletes are forbidden to speak to each other. Start Number Bibs Every EOW competitor (except Open course) will be issued with a numbered bib (often known as “start number”) which must be worn on the chest for each race. Information on bibs will consist of the bus transport stamp (if ordered), competitor´s name, personal barcode, Federation, age, class for the competition days. Lost bibs can be replaced at the Event Centre or arena Information desk for a charge of 5 EUR. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN SAFETY PINS, ORGANISERS DO NOT PROVIDE IT! Controls Each control is equipped with

● The control flag. ● Two electronic punching stations (SPORTident stations). There are more than two

SPORTident stations in high traffic controls (e.g last control). ● One pin punching device, only to be used if SPORTident fails.

The control code is located on top of the SPORTident box.

There are many controls in the competition terrain. Please make sure always to check your control codes! Control Descriptions Control Descriptions will be printed on the front side of all competition maps. Loose copies of the control descriptions (water resistant) will be available for all the categories (except marked and assisted courses!) in the start lanes as part of the start procedure. Competitors have one minute to choose and prepare their control descriptions. At the start, there is no tape or other equipment available to prepare control descriptions. Each grid square has a 6-mm side. Courses with fewer controls will have proportionately smaller sheets. Clear and Check Each SI-card must be cleared and checked before each race. Stations to clear SI-cards will be located outside the entrance to the -6 min start box. Insert your SI-card and wait a few seconds until the “clear” unit beeps and flashes, verifying that previous data have been deleted. After clearing your SI-card, please place the SI-card into a “check” unit where the “check” unit will beep and flash immediately, confirming that the SI-card is ready to use. Start staff will be present to assist you. Start Procedure Each runner is responsible for following the correct marked route to their start area. The competition area is out of bounds until your start time. Distances to the start are specific to each race. Every starting procedure is a silent process, and it is the runner’s responsibility to be there on time! Before the entrance to the first box (-6 min) SI-cards are cleared and checked. In the start area, runners will pass through four consecutive starting boxes, and remain one minute in each one. When the clock in front (B) of the first start box (-6 min) displays the runner’s starting time, the runner steps in. This will be 6 minutes before the start. At this point the bib number and the starting time are checked. Runners without an SI-card or without a bib will not be allowed to start. If you lose or forget your bib or SI-card you can get a replacement at the Information in the arena.

13

In the second box (-5 min) each runner goes through start gate, where their SI-card number and name are connected. In the third box (-4 min) each runner waits in their box. In the fourth box (-3 min) each runner will pick up his/her loose control description sheet (optional). There will be no tape available for athletes’ use. Runners must bring their own equipment to carry the loose control descriptions during the race. The control descriptions will also be printed on the map. In the last minute before the start time, the competitor steps over the line into the -1 min box (the one with the maps). When entering the box, the runner proceeds to the map issue box labelled with his/her correct heat/Final and waits beside the map pocket for the remaining part of the minute. Race time is visible there via clock A. The start-countdown will be indicated by a series of 5 beeps at -5 to 0 seconds. At the last beep, the competitor’s race time begins and the runner can take the map from the map pocket. The runner is responsible for taking the correct map. Runners will then follow a marked route to the start point which is indicated by a triangle in the terrain and a triangle on the competition map. You must follow the marked route to the start point. Marked courses, assisted courses and Open courses start is similar to a regular orienteering event – it is possible to start according to time that is brought out in EOW program (Open Courses start from the “Late Start Lane”). Marked and assisted courses have a separate start. NB! In marked and assisted courses children complete race by themselves, but parents can teach them in the start. Late Start Runners who arrive after their designated start time must report to and use the late start lane where an official will accompany him/her. Your SI-card must be cleared and checked along the lane. Control descriptions and the competition map will be handed out by a EOW 2017 official. The competitor then starts the race when told to do so (IOF Rule 22.9) and a Start official takes a note of the actual starting time. The results of runners who start late will be based on their original start time (with no time compensation). Only if their lateness is the fault of the organiser will their actual race time be used (IOF Rule 22.10). Any runner who is late, whether through their own fault or otherwise, should not discuss this with the start officials. Instead, if the competitor believes the organiser is responsible, he/she should make a complaint after finishing the race at the Problem Desk before leaving the Finish Area. At Each Control All controls are equipped with one or two SPORTident (SI) units. You may use either of the units where there are two. Insert your SI-card into the control unit until the unit beeps and flashes. The red light and beep do not guarantee that the competitor is at the correct control. This should be checked in the usual manner by reading the control code on top of the SPORTident station. If you do punch at an incorrect control, simply continue to the correct control; the extra punch will be disregarded by the results software.

If the control unit does not function (there is no beep and no flash) then use the pin punch attached to the control stand and punch on your map in one of the spaces provided. If you have pin punched any controls on your map you must hand the map in at the Problem desk before leaving the Finish area and explain what you have done. Finish Procedure All runners are required to pass and punch at the Finish line, including those runners who do not complete the whole course. Runners who do not punch at the Finish line will be considered as “missing in the forest”, which may cause a search in the forest for the missing person. Your bib number must be clearly visible as you cross the Finish line. When the runner reaches the Finish line, the runner must punch one of the control units located directly at the Finish line. The time will then be recorded and the race is over. The runner must read out his/her SI-card at one of the manned read out stations, located at the exit. As a confirmation of the completed readout, a slip with the race time and the split-times will be printed out. There will be a Problem Desk for solving mispunches and handling problems regarding SI-card readout. The schematic flow diagram below shows how the Finish system works:

At the Finish At the Finish, you must punch at one of the SI units on the Finish line. Your elapsed race time only stops when you punch one of these SI units. Competitors must punch one of these Finish units even if they do not complete their course. After the Finish Line After the Finish line, you will be directed to the read-out station where the data from your SI-card will be transferred to the results system. The system will verify that you have visited all controls on your course in the correct order. Your split times will be printed immediately. If you are using a rental SI-card and this is your last race, you must return your SI-card. Commentary Race will be commented in Estonian and in English, competition news and leaders of classes will be the main topics. In addition, there are radio controls in the forest. Maximum Time

- Maximum time for Sprint races is 1 hour. - Maximum time for Middle races is 2 hours. - Maximum time for Long races is 3 hours.

15

Disqualification If a runner misses one or more controls, or the controls were not visited in the correct order, the runner will be disqualified. Passing or crossing obstacles that are forbidden to pass/cross in Sprint distances will lead to disqualification. Also, being in or “visiting” forbidden leads to disqualification (even hesitation and returning the steps shall lead to disqualification). Complaints and Protests A special form should be used for both complaints and protests. This form is available at the Problem Desk. Any complaint should be made in writing in English to the organiser and handed in at the Problem Desk in the Finish area as soon as possible.

Emergency, fire, ambulance and police 112 is the emergency number for ambulance and rescue services, as well as the police. Open fire or smoking is prohibited in all competition arenas. Green thinking and waste Orienteers have a green mindset and therefore we are sorting waste at EOW 2017. There are two kinds of different trash bins in the Competition Centre with the appropriate signs:

1. Plastic drinking cups in refreshment controls and plastic bottles will be separated and recycled. Plastic waste will be collected in a transparent bin.

2. Mixed waste - all other kinds of waste, which are not collected separately, go to mixed waste bin (incl. food waste, used disposable tableware, map plastic bags etc.).

We kindly ask the competitors to follow the signs and separate the waste into the correct bins! Toilets There will be toilets on the arenas. On July 4 in Rõuge and on July 7 in Vitipalu there are toilets in start area. Please use official toilets. Using the forest gives competitors a bad reputation and could make organisation of future O-Events in these regions difficult.
