Schedule

  Basic Rules

COK meets are held on Saturday, unless marked otherwise on the meet schedule further down this page, even if it's raining.

10:00 AM (based on instructor availability)	Basic Instruction begins for all who are interested. This is very informal; if you don't see a teaching group in progress, ask at the registration table.
10:00 AM	Start times become available. Go to the registration table and request one.
Noon	No more start times. You cannot begin later than this time.
3:00 PM	All courses are closed.
Important!  1. When you’re done with a course, no matter whether you finished all the controls or not, you are REQUIRED to check in with the meet director at the registration desk. See box below. 2. There is a 3-hour Time Limit to all courses. At that point you must check in whether you're finished or not. 3. All courses close at 3:00 PM. EVERYONE must check in at registration BY 3:00 PM, finished or not!!
It does not matter if you completed your course or not — anyone who does not check in will be Presumed Lost. A search party will be organized. If you really are lost, then help is on the way. (But... if they find out you went home to watch “MasterChef” without checking in, boy will they be pissed.)

Meet Fees

 Map Fee 

General Public:
     ..... $8 per map
Special groups (Scouts, ROTC):
     ..... $6 per map
COK members:
     ..... $5 per map

Note that this fee is for each map, not each person. Several people may elect to go together using only one map.

 Compass rental 

Compasses are available to rent for $1. You will be asked to leave your driver's license or your car keys as collateral.

 Finger stick rental 

Electronic finger sticks are also available to rent for $2, for use with electronic punch courses. Collateral is required, as these puppies are expensive to replace.

  Meet Schedule

Volunteers help out the Meet Director, maybe by getting people registered or writing down start times. No expert orienteering skills are required, but many times an extra pair of hands are greatly appreciated. If you've enjoyed a few meets, maybe now's the season for you to give some back — pick a date, contact the Meet Director, and volunteer! Hey! ...you'll be righteous the rest of the year.
