Set up an orienteering event for age class competition

Some orienteering events require competitors to enter a specific class. In this type of event one course will be hosting one or more competition classes.

To set this up for your event:

  • On The Event tab, select the Event type as “Class competition” and Save;
  • Decide on the matrix of classes to courses;
  • Add your courses on the Courses tab;
  • Add the competition classes on the Classes tab, selecting the Course that the Class is competing on;
  • On Entry Form – Standard Items include classID as required. Do not include courseID.

If your event is using start lanes and times:

  • Add the start lanes on the Start Lanes tab.;
  • Edit each Course and assign it to the relevant Start Lane;
  • On Entry Form – Standard Items include startLaneSlotID as required and if necessary adjust the Display Order
    so that it appears under classID;
  • When the entrant selects their Class the system will assign them to the related Course and display the
    available start times for that Course.

If your event is using age restrictions: please note that for a Class competition, any age restrictions must be applied to Classes. Any age restrictions applied to Courses will not be honoured!
