The best youth team in the world
We will nominate the ”world’s” best youth club 2010. The results of the three classes are added up.

Parallel courses
Leg 3 in MW - 12 and W –18 and leg 6 in MW –18 are parallel. On these legs you can use 1 – 3 runners per team. All runners on these legs will start at the same time and run together to the start point, when the runner on the previous leg arrives at the changeover. The first runner on the parallel course changes over to the next runner and the others leave the finish area without doing any changeover. The best time will be noted for the team.

Team combination
Team combination is allowed according to the rules of the Swedish Orienteering Federation, SOFT. Use the rules as they were intended, to make it possible to participate – not to win. Runners must not participate in more than one relay.
