Technical info for event organizers

Here are a few additional handy resources for event organizers.

• RouteGadget

  Orienteering Canada has a RouteGadget website that allows people to view courses and maps from events around the country. It allows orienteers to draw their routes and to replay races. Event organizers are encouraged to upload their event’s maps, courses and results to this database and that orienteers will upload their routes. Visit rg.orienteering.ca. An “all about RouteGadget” info sheet is available here.

• SportIdent Resources

  Here are info documents available for event organizers who are using electronic timing software.
