Comprising of ten events each year over varied terrain, the Devon Orienteering League aims to present regular and gently competitive orienteering to club members and newcomers. All Devon members are automatically registered at the beginning of each season. Non-members and members of other BOF clubs have to fill in a registration form, available at the league events. There are a range of courses available to suit both novice and experienced orienteers, linked to the BOF colour coded guidelines for clarity. Competitors scores are calculated as follows; Score =(fastest registered competitors time/your time)X1000 On Yellow and Orange courses the competitors best four results are used, and on all other courses the best six, this is to help novices move up to a harder course in a single season. Although you can register for the league at any time during the season, this will not effect other competitors previous scores. Prizes are awarded at the end of the season for the first male and female competitor on each course and the best junior on Green, Blue and Brown Whilst shadowing of juniors is allowed we ask that this should be non-active unless the run is subsequently declared non-competitive. The adult shadowing the junior should also have already completed their run. Pairs are allowed to run on Yellow and Orange courses and shall be awarded the total number of points as if they were individuals. Competitors may change to running individually or with a different partner at any event during the season. Registration times vary, please check. Results and league positions will be sent out to club members with each issue of Devon Orienteer, and can also be requested at the event. Organisers, Planners and Controllers of league events get 1000 points on their league course for the event they were responsible for, for one event each season. Senior winners on Blue and Green courses must run up a course the following year to remain competitive, this only applies to the year following their win. Trophys will be presented at the end of the season. |
