Competition<br />
The Bagheera Maze O-<strong>Ringen</strong> <strong>2017</strong> is raced<br />
through head-to-head duels. Challenge a<br />
friend or rival in the Bagheera Maze. There will<br />
be two Mazes this year, identical but mirror images<br />
of each other. Competitors start two at a<br />
time: one has Course A and the other Course<br />
B. Competitors run through the first maze (A or<br />
B, depending on the one you have), come out<br />
the back of the maze to a turn-around control<br />
outside the maze, and then go through the<br />
other maze from the back and then run to the<br />
finish.<br />
This setup gives the public a very clear<br />
understanding of the standings at the turnaround<br />
control and then allows them to see<br />
who is first to the finish.<br />
See the attached sketch of what a maze<br />
map might look like.<br />
Setup – Qualification<br />
Each competitor can run a maximum of two<br />
times (once with Course A and once with<br />
Course B). You can run with anyone you want,<br />
as long as they are from the same class (DH-12<br />
or DH13-16). If there is no one you want to run<br />
with, the organizers will add a competitor in<br />
the vacant spot.<br />
Start intervals will be 30 seconds between<br />
each pair. If there is a lot of crowding, the organizers<br />
reserve the right to change the start<br />
interval.<br />
In order to go through to the Finals, you<br />
have to be fast. It doesn’t matter if you run<br />
Course A or B, since they are the same. The four<br />
fastest boys and girls in DH12 and DH13-16<br />
go through to the Quarter-finals. This will be<br />
announced right after the qualifiers, around<br />
3:50pm (12:50pn on Tuesday).<br />
Setup - Finals<br />
All 16 finalists (8 in DH12 and 8 in DH13-16)<br />
must be in place by 3:50pm (12:50pm on Tuesday)<br />
in the special tent for finalists. If you are<br />
not there in time, you forfeit, and your opponent<br />
moves on by default.<br />
Finals have a knockout format. The maze is<br />
the same as in the qualification races, but the<br />
course is new for each round. The fastest time<br />
in the qualifier (regardless of gender) competes<br />
against the 8th fastest, the 2nd against<br />
the 7th, and so on.<br />
The fastest time from the qualification can<br />
choose their course (A or B) in each round.<br />
Heat order:<br />
1.QF DH12 1-8, 4-5, 3-6 and 2-7<br />
2. QF DH13-16 1-8, 4-5, 3-6 och 2-7<br />
3. SF DH12 1/8-4/5 and 3/6-2/7<br />
4. SF DH13-16 1/8-4/5 and 3/6-2/7<br />
5. FINAL DH12<br />
6. FINAL DH13-16<br />
The winners in each heat in the QF and SF will<br />
immediately go back to the finalist tent and<br />
wait there for the next round.<br />
Radio O-<strong>Ringen</strong><br />
The finals will be broadcast LIVE on Radio<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> from 3:50pm-5pm each day that<br />

No shadowing is allowed in either the qualification<br />
or the finals. On the other hand, shadowing<br />
is allowed during Maze for All times, see<br />
below.<br />
Example of how the Bagheera maze will look like.<br />
Only competitors can be in the mazes, as well<br />
as in the designated areas behind the mazes.<br />
Maze for All<br />
The mazes with finals courses will remain open<br />
until 8pm each evening, but without timing<br />
and results. Anyone can try the Bagheera<br />
Maze! Race a duel against your grandchild,<br />
your mom or dad, or a friend from a neighboring<br />
club.<br />
Several laminated maps will be available at<br />
the entrance to the Bagheera Maze. Feel free<br />
to borrow a map, but make sure to return it<br />
once you have run.<br />
