Discussion: Map Distribution Time

in: CAOC Snowgaine!;

expresso: Based on a reasonable request, I moved the map distribution time to coincide with registration check-in: 7:30 a.m. This will give teams 90 minutes of planning time. Of course, you can check-in later if you don't want this planning time. Start is still at 9.

Rainbow Unicorn: I know this is normally standard for a Rogaine, but each person on a team will get a map, correct?

expresso: Yes, each person gets a map & unsealed map case. We can't seal them to fully protect them from melted snow as most people draw on their map in advance.
I usually draw on the map and then seal it in contact paper as the final step. Of course, your waterproof AR navigator's kit is the best.

Soupbone: What is the snow depth as of Monday the 15th??

expresso: When I left yesterday, the snow depth was 3-5 in. With the higher temps this week I expect a fair bit of it to melt & sublimate by race day and be a perfect 1-3 in. Here are some details:

Rainbow Unicorn: Was curious about the map distribution prior to the event. Someone mentioned that we would need to plot points (AR-plot or O-copy), but I was under the impression that the controls would be pre-plotted on the O-map. Any thoughts there? Thanks in advance....

expresso: Control points already on pre-printed maps; no work for you. Those who did not pre-register get blank maps and must copy from a master.

expresso: FYI, I will bring some extra pre-printed maps in case anyone looks at the weather and realizes what a perfect day we're going to have tomorrow and decides to attend at the last minute. Drop me an email to reserve one.
We have 75 people in 30 teams & 6 solos.
