Event Write-Up
By
The weather was foggy in the morning, but then it burned off — perfect weather for Orienteering. We had 116 starts, including a number of Scout troops and a Pack. There were 40 starts on Course 2, including many groups and I had only 50 maps printed, so Matej Sebo was running around getting used Course 2 maps donated so we would have enough maps.
At Bedwell Bayfront Park last Sunday we had a number of firsts:
- Matej Sebo, one of our COOL students, set all the courses for the event. This is the first time a student has done this. The feedback I got from people about the courses were 100 percent positive, with many strong favorable adjectives. Way to go, Matej!
- The first time for self-service Beginner Clinics. The new folks read the sign that said to push the "Play" button on top of the screen. This played a 5-minute DVD, the "dibber" video. I took away three things from this test:
- The only people to ask questions at the epunch tent were those that had not seen the video,
- We left the TV up all day and there were quite a few people viewing it after our normal 9:30 to 10:30 clinic window, so the need for a teaching resource later in the day is present, and
- After Alex suggested renting a screen from an adventure racing outfit, we found out that they used normal TVs, not sunlight readable, so this was a test of that. No one complained about not being able to see the screen, but it was pretty dim in the bright day, even under the canopy.
- Before Pacheco I intend to try it again, this time with a sun blocking tarp on three walls, and over the top of the canopy to see if the screen readability improves. If anyone is interested in making our own videos, let me know and I'll play them instead (smile).
- This is the first time we used OE2010 software at a meet.
- I wasn't able to figure out how to use the supposedly new feature to allow using the same stick on multiple courses. I had to change the previous entry's stick number just like we had to do in OE2003.
- The menu items had changed location, so it took a while to figure out how to access the pages that I knew were there somewhere. But after finding them, things were better than with OE2003.
- It is especially nice not to have to start a separate program for archive management. The new splits export has a bunch of new fields, and one field was deleted, so it wasn't too hard to change the COOL and BAWS scripts to read them. This is good, since we'll need to get same-day results at Tilden for the Championship awards.
- This is the first time we had a 6.9 km course at Bayfront. Mark Blair exclaimed "Wow, it was just like real Orienteering. I don't need to do a second course."
