Score Event Course.

This course is a score type event course. A score event is where you can visit the control sites in any order but must return to the finish within a time limit, in this case 45 minutes. The course result is based on the number of points the runner scores, rather than the fastest time. The winner is the competitor who accumulates the highest points score from the controls visited. Time only comes into play where runners have the same number points scored. There is also a time penalty if the time limit is exceeded. 10 points are deducted for every minute or partial minute over the time. Controls 1 to 9 score 30 points, 10 to 19 score 40 points, and control 20 scores 50 points.
