Event Disciplines
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

When you create a new event in Condes, you select the main "discipline" of the event.  Below is a brief comparison between the characteristics of these discipline.  Regardless of the main discipline for the event, you can still create courses for different disciplines within the same event file.

Disciplines:

Foot Orienteering: This is the standard discipline.  Courses are drawn according to IOF's map specifications for foot orienteering.  The course length is calculated along the course leg line, unless you configure the course to calculate the length along the shortest route choices.

Mountain Bike Orienteering: This course length of an MTB-O course must be measured along the optimal route choice.  Therefore, this type of course is automatically configured to use the course length along the route choice lines configured via the Route Choice mode.

Ski Orienteering: A ski-O course automatically has a dot at the center of each circle to highlight the center spot.

Trail Orienteering:  Trail orienteering courses are drawn similarly as standard orienteering courses.  However, the control descriptions indicate for each control the number of choices you have for the answer.

Route Choice Line

A Route Choice Line is a line between two controls, which follows the optimal route choice between these two controls.  It is used as a basis for calculating the course length on MTB-O courses (or any other course where you select to use the route choice as the basis for course length calculation)
