BAOC COOL
Bay Area Orienteering Club California Outdoor Orienteering League
2012-2013 Season
Since the Juniors Director position is vacant, I have simplified the process for COOL in order to create a satisfying junior training event with less organizational work. If a new Juniors Director is found, he/she may make changes.
Here are the most significant differences from previous COOL seasons:
- We are using existing BAOC events instead of setting up separate COOL events.
- No pre-registration: We will use the registration already being set up for the event. (This means, unfortunately, that parents will need to sign their child's registration form for each event, but they can print it out online (http://baoc.org/pdfs/entry_form.pdf), and fill it out in advance, if they won't be at the event.)
- No Course 3: The traditional BAOC courses correspond to Course 1 (White), Course 2 (Yellow), and Course 4 (Orange). Junior Varsity (JV) were typically the competitors on Course 3 — they will do the Orange course instead, but will be compared to other JV also doing Orange.
- Juniors Orienteering Skills Training will be taught at 10:30 at COOL events, prior to your running your course. Topics will include: using handrails, navigating by contour, choosing the correct running speed, etc. The clinics are free.
- Register yourself for the COOL season in order to be included in the championship points. There is no fee to register for COOL, and no obligation to attend meets. Your points will be calculated for all COOL events in the season, even if they occurred before you registered. The BAOC COOL 2012-2013 Sign-Up is here (http://baoccool.blogspot.com/).
