Quail Hill Green Course. Out of Blue maps, it was hot, and the event was unrankable due to some permissions issues that weren't detected until the course was underway. I also hear they weren't corrected very smoothly - but by the time I got there, order was already returning, and all I had to do was mark out of bounds areas on maps, and mark the control skip (due to out of bounds) on a ton of maps. Competitors didn't seem too disturbed, esp. those who got the information before they started.
Not nearly as bad as the US Night O' champs a decade ago - but apparently enough to get some people quite flustered. Including the local scout-camp 'ranger'. Fortunately, his boss (scout VP for the county - Kevin?) was there, and was part of calming the ranger down. Levelheads, including the Scouting VP, Vadim, and Bob (at least while I was there), seemed quite prevalent by the end. We'll see if that's enough to keep future permissions.
slow-start, then push allowed - no thanks after last week
