In this year's competition, 9 schools competed. Each school has five two man teams. First the teams take a twenty question map reading test. After that, they give each team ten minutes to plot points on the map they were given from three master maps. After the time is up they send teams out on the course to find as many of the thirty points as possible in ninety minutes. Each point is worth five points to your total score. The total team score is calculated by adding the written test and course competition together. If you come in after the ninety minutes, points will be deducted from your total score. The total school score is calculated by adding the top four two man team scores together. We eat food!!!!! It is a very fun experience that gives you map reading skills. We encourage you to be apart of the Orienteering Team.
