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
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 desk.
10:30
Start times become available. Go to the registration desk and request one.
12:30 PM
No more start times. You cannot begin later than this time.
3:00
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 “Dancing With The Stars” without checking in, boy will they be pissed.)

this site, under the heading “Fill Out Meet Forms in Advance”. Do it today!
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.
