D.32 Appendix C – Solution Sheets
D.32.1 Once the last competitor has finished and the course is closed, solution sheets for
all the controls, including time controls, are issued. These consist either of map
segments or the map of all of the competition area, at enlarged scale (usually
twice competition scale) showing the decision points and positions of the flags at
each control, which of the flags is correct or, for zero answers, the unflagged
center of the circle. Also included is the description for each control.
It is important that the solution sheet mapping agrees exactly with the competition
map. Late changes to the competition map which are not replicated in the solution
maps produce difficulties and invite dissension.
D.32.2 The solution sheets should include some indication from the course setter of at
least one expected solution method leading to the correct solution.
D.32.3 A recommended procedure for mapping flag positions is to generate special
symbols on the competition map, which can be used in the terrain at greatly
enlarged scale for fine tuning of the control and flag positions. On completion of
the planning process the map segments are cut and pasted for making up the
solution sheets. Before printing the competition map the special symbols are
hidden.
