  • An Introduction to Trail Orienteering for Organisers, Planners and Participants
    IntrO Paralympic class and Open class competitors at WTOC 2013 in France An introduction to trail orienteering for organisers, planners and participants. Sept 2013 1. Introduction This manual is for organisers, planners and participants unfamiliar with trail orienteering or wishing to refresh their understanding of it. It deals with IntrO, which is the name given to a simplified introductory form of trail orienteering. Those reading this manual are almost certainly familiar with orienteering, as generally practised, and may have some idea about trail orienteering. But there can be misconceptions, so the essential elements of the discipline are re-stated here. Trail orienteering is a world sport FootO MTBO SkiO TrailO TrailO is one of the four disciplines of orienteering, governed by the International Orienteering Federation, based in Helsinki, Finland. All four disciples have annual world championships. TrailO is not yet as widespread as FootO but extends from the USA to Japan (via Europe). Trail orienteering is a sport for all Do not misinterpret the official trailO logo. Although the discipline was specially designed as a non-athletic, intellectual version of orienteering, in order that those in wheelchairs and others with mobility difficulties can take full part in competition, so can the able-bodied. TrailO events are always open to all without regard to age, gender or mobility impairment, but may also have a closed ‘Paralympic’ class, usually on the same course. The popularity of trailO is such that the majority of participants are able-bodied including world champion foot orienteers. It is particularly attractive to those orienteers who, for whatever reason, find foot orienteering becoming too physical but wish to continue participating in orienteering.

  • The Using of Modern Technologies in Orienteering
    The using of modern technologies in orienteering Michal Frainšic1, Petr Špicar2, Ludmila Fialová2 1 Department of Outdoor activities, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic 2 Department of Pedagogy, Psychology and Didactics of sport, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Char- les University, Prague, Czech Republic Abstract The article deals with introduction and contribution of modern technologies used in a sport branch of ori- enteering sports in comparison with the past when these technologies were not used. Modern technologies contributed to expansion of orienteering sports. They made this branch of sport more attractive for both - com- petitors and spectators. Facilities like SPORTident, Trac-Trac, Emit and Racom transfered on-line results from race to competitors and spectators, who are in the race center. Thanks to those facilities spectators can also watch the race on-line on TV or on the Internet. Program OCAD made the preparation of orienteering maps and tracks faster and more effective. Modern technologies also speeded up the process of race preparation.

  • Orienteering
    Orienteering Orienteering is a sport that combines both a physical and a mental element. The basic idea in orienteering is to proceed from course start to finish by visiting a number of control points in a pre-determined order, using only a detailed map and a compass. In order to choose the best possible route, orienteers look at the characteristics of the terrain, and the winner is the person who completes the course in the fastest time. Orienteering is unique in that an orienteer must navigate and make quick decisions while running at high speed. ••• Annual orienteering events include: • World Orienteering Championships • Junior World Orienteering Championships • World Masters Orienteering Championships. The International Orienteering Federation (IOF) • World Cup series is the international governing body of the sport • 100+ World Ranking Events of orienteering.

  • Maps for Different Forms of Orienteering
    MAPS FOR DIFFERENT FORMS OF ORIENTEERING László Zentai Eötvös Loránd University, Pázmány Péter sétány 1/A H-1117 Budapest, Hungary [email protected] Abstract: Orienteering became a worldwide sport in the last 25-30 years. Orienteering maps are one of the very few types of maps that have the same specifications all over the world. Orienteering maps are special, because to make them suitable for orienteering the map makers have to be familiar not only with the map specifications, but also with the rules and traditions of the sport. The early period of orienteering maps was the age of homemade maps. Maps were made by orienteers using available tourist or topographic maps and only after the availability of cheaper reproduction techniques started the process of special field- working. The International Orienteering Federation (IOF) was formed in 1961. The Map Commission (MC) of the IOF has introduced different specifications for the official disciplines (before 2000 the ski-orienteering and foot-orienteering were the only official disciplines). The last version of the specification, the International Standard for Orienteering Maps (ISOM) was published in 2000 and included specifications for foot- orienteering, ski-orienteering, mountain-bike orienteering. A new format, the sprint competition, required new map specifications (ISSOM) which were finalized and published in 2007. The aim of orienteering map specifications is to provide rules that can accommodate many different types of terrain around the world and various forms of orienteering. We can use the experience of the official disciplines for developing new specifications: the official disciplines and formats were developed in the past 30 years (most of them are even newer).
