23 Punching and Timing / 24 Clothing 23 Punching and Timing System WOC 2012 will use the SPORTident (SI) system at all the competitions. All SI-cards will be handed out to the team leaders for each of their competitors when accrediting their team. Team leaders must sign for receipt of the SI-cards. A charge of CHF 60.00 will be imposed for any lost or missing card. After the relay, team leaders must return all the SI-cards together at the Event Centre. Each SI-card is assigned by name to each competitor and must be used by that athlete only! At each start, there will be spare SI-cards on hand in case a competitor has lost, misplaced or forgotten their card. At each Final race, competitors will wear a GPS-tracking device. Starting procedures will be as follows: • In the Qualification races each competitor will be started at their assigned start time by a hand on the shoulder • In the Final races a starting gate will be used Finishing times for individual races will be recorded as follows: • In all the races except the Sprint Final, the times will be rounded down to whole seconds • In the Sprint Final competition, the time will be rounded down to whole tenths of a second At the technical model event on Friday, 13 th July, from 14:00 – 16:00, the punching and timing equipment as well as the layout of start and finish areas will be demonstrated. 24 Clothing There are no restrictions regarding clothing. Athletes are strongly advised to wear full-length orienteering trousers in the forest races as ticks are very common in Switzerland which carry both the meningoencephalitis virus and the Lyme-Borreliose bacteria. Wearing shoes with Dobb spikes is not allowed in the sprint events. Bulletin 3 / page 28
