Information for Event Organizers

Course and Category Guidelines

Refer to the COF Course and Category Guidelines (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view) for recommended winning times for the different courses. Note that for MOA selection races the organizer is required to have the following courses available:

COF Course # MOA Age Category
1 M/F 12
2 M/F 13-14
3 M/F 15-16
5 F 17-20; F35+; M60+
8 M17-20; F21; M35-59
10 M21

Note that the organizer should have all of the above courses planned but only needs to prepare maps and set controls for people who have pre-registered with the required notice. Competitors who are trying to make the provincial team must ensure they have pre-registered for their correct course.

Mailing List Information

The Sunday prior to each scheduled event, an e-mail is sent to the Events Notice Mailing List announcing the following event details:

If you want additional information included in the notice for your event, please contact the list manager, Dave Graupner, before the Sunday prior to your event. (You may want to provide driving directions, the location of the assembly area, special event details, and so on.)

Important Notes:

  1. The Events Notice Mailing List is to be used only for announcing each event once. In consideration of all its subscribers, it should not be used as a communication tool to provide last-minute information to event participants. Consequently, for events that require pre-registration, organizers should keep track of their registrants in case it becomes necessary to contact all of them.
  2. For events that do not require pre-registration (e.g., city park events), the mailing list and website cannot be used to contact all potential event participants. (Anyone with a printed schedule brochure could try to attend the event.) Therefore, these events should be easy to find and should not be cancelled or rescheduled unless absolutely necessary.
