B.15.9 It is recommended that numbers or letters that can improperly be read upside<br />
down not be used (i.e. 86 - 98). If, however, they are used they shall have a line<br />
drawn beneath them to indicate the proper stance.<br />
B.15.10 Every control shall have control card marking device/s. If only manual<br />
punching is used, then only a manual punching device is required. If electronic<br />
punching is used, then both a manual and electronic punching device shall be<br />
provided.<br />
B.15.11 To minimize competitors waiting <strong>for</strong> a marker there shall be an ample<br />
number of marking devices at each control location. This is particularly<br />
important at the early controls when a mass start is used.<br />
B.16 Refreshments<br />
B.16.1 It is usual to provide drinking water at several selected controls in the rogaine. If<br />
there are reliable sources of water (spring, lake or stream) naturally occurring at<br />
many places on the course which could be safely made drinkable with iodine or<br />
ultra filtration treatment these could be substituted. It shall be noted in the<br />
sanctioning request and all advance publicity about the event what approach will<br />
be taken towards the provision of water.<br />
B.16.2 It is obligatory <strong>for</strong> the organizers of the event to provide food at the administrative<br />
headquarters <strong>for</strong> a stated period during the event. The food service should be<br />
continuous, and might typically last from 4 hours after the start until 1 hour after<br />
the finish. It is also standard <strong>for</strong> there to be camping facilities <strong>for</strong> the competitors<br />
also available at the event headquarters (<strong>for</strong> a 24-hour event).<br />
B.17 Administration Areas<br />
B.17.1 Whenever a team visits an administration area, all team members are required to<br />
report together to the organizers and surrender their team's scorecard. The team<br />
shall only collect its scorecard immediately prior to leaving that administration<br />
area.<br />
B.17.2 A team shall finish by all of the members reporting together to the designated<br />
finish administration area and surrendering their scorecard.<br />
B.17.3 If a competitor wishes to withdraw from a team <strong>for</strong> any reason the entire team<br />
shall return to an administration area and notify the organizers. The original team<br />
shall be deemed to have finished the event. If a new team is <strong>for</strong>med it may be<br />
admitted to the competition at the discretion of the organizers but no points shall<br />
be credited <strong>for</strong> checkpoints already visited.<br />
