Rules for Organizing Orienteering Meets

... in Sweden

1. Limit the number of participants to the first 11,000 registrants. Limit the elite categories to the first 100 internationally ranked orienteers.
2. Ensure you have ten, nay, fifty punches at the last control to avoid line-ups, accidents or fisticuffs.
3. Ensure you have several acres for the lavatory and shower complexes.

1. Count all who show up, including dogs, in the meet statistics. Wear sandals in case you need your toes to count.
2. If you can avoid it, do not put a punch at the last control. It'll likely be taken by passersby who have never seen that species of brightly coloured barbed plant before.
3. Anywhere's fine, except under a control.
