Last update 01 Dec 2018
Night Street League

Informal after-dark urban orienteering, controls normally numbers on street furniture.

Each event will normally consist of a 60 minute score with a mass start, normally 7:00pm. Late starts will be permitted but the common finish time will still apply. Exceptions to this format may be permitted by special pleading to the Co-ordinator.

A headlamp / torch is highly advisable, but it need not be a full-power terrain night-O one. You should also wear a light / reflective top to help ensure you are seen. Whistles are also required.


The Night Street League Co-ordinator is Andy White

2017 - 2018 Programme (all Thursdays unless stated otherwise)

Details Rules
  1. Each event will normally be a score event with a 60 minute time limit, with penalties for late returns. Late starts will be allowed but the common finish time will still apply.
  2. The former long, medium and short course trophies will be awarded to the highest-ranked Harlequins based on their performances relative to their Bert Pardoe handicaps.
  3. This is a street competition not night orienteering. The majority of events should take place in towns, streets or on paths. Short, safe stretches in open country where powerful torches are not needed may be acceptable, but must not become the norm. If competitors are sent outside towns the organizer should consider the safety of possible route choices.
  4. The planner scores 10 points; max. one such score per runner per season. If anyone plans more than one event in a season, for the second and subsequent events they plan they will receive the highest score they have achieved at an event where they actually ran.
  5. In the event of a dispute the NSL Coordinator will make a ruling.
  6. In the even more unlikely event that this ruling is not acceptable, appeal may be made to the Club Captain, or (if the NSL Coordinator and Club Captain are one and the same) the Club Chairman.

Notes

The normal time for the mass start is 7:00pm, in order to avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic.

Events use urban streets and paths, with the occasional stretch of open space or canal towpath. A headlight or torch is often useful, particularly for the longer courses, but it doesn't need to be particularly powerful - enough to see your footing and read the map.

Participants are responsible for their own safety and take part at their own risk. Courses may cross main roads and some reflective clothing is advisable.

Trophies are awarded for handicap winners at the end of the season.
