Revised 11 October 2019
At Metro and Runners Shop Twilight events, there are normally two queues, one for season pass holders who do not need to make cash payments, and one for anything that involves a cash or EFTPOS transaction (see separate page for EFTPOS instructions). A single queue may operate late in the event after most entries have been received.
1. Competitors should fill in a registration card only if they are:
- new to orienteering (i.e. are not already in the event computer database);
- hiring an SI stick and/or compass;
- using a different SI stick to their normal one; or
- participating in a team.
2. All competitors go to the registration desk and:
- pay their event fees or have their name checked if they are season pass holders; and
- collect the correct map.
3. If a card has been filled in, the registration officials should check that all details have been included (see below).
4. All competitors then go to the computer download area before they start and either:
- hand in their registration card from Step 1; or
- register with their usual SI stick, and advise which course they have entered; and
- clear and check their SI stick.
Competitors who have filled in a registration card do not register with their SI stick.
Card details to check
- SI hire. The charge is $5.00 each.
- Extra maps. The charge for additional maps is $2.00 each.
- Compass hire/Compass no. Compass hire is $2.00 each. Remember to insert the number of the hire compass on the card.
- First name/Surname. Initial only for first name is not acceptable. Check that both are written legibly.
- Email – check if legible.
- Year born and M/F. Only required for new participants.
- Address/Phone. Address is not compulsory. A ‘First Timer’ must include a contact address. Telephone number is required (for contact if the person has not returned within a reasonable time).
- Car registration. Must be included for safety reasons, as a check if someone still appears to be out on the course.
- SI stick no. Insert the number of hire SI stick.
- Age class/Course/ Club. Check that these appear correct and that the age class is appropriate to gender and age of the entrant.
