In the beginning of March, the Swiss National Team was training in Portugal for 9 days to prepare the new season. OCAD is a long-time partner of the Swiss Orienteering Team<\/strong> and was of course widely used to set courses and prepare maps before the camp: 8 different course setters prepared 19 trainings with a total of over 400 controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To guarantee highest quality of the trainings, lot of work had to be done behind the scene. An internal document lists the key points:
– Always check if the scale is correct<\/a>.
\u2013 Cut the control circles and connection lines<\/a> where needed.
\u2013 Check the control description.
\u2013 Are the North lines on the map?
– On the map with all controls, the control numbers should not cover the control location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the course setters always use the same course setting template<\/a>. For every scale, there\u2019s a template, which contains additional symbols, like frames for printing, text symbols or a special North Arrow. This results in a uniform appearance and underlines the common spirit. Also, it guarantees the same color settings for all trainings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All final courses were exported as GIF\u2019s and double-checked. When everything was in order, PDF\u2019s for printing were created. The printed maps were controlled once again. The result of this effort: Perfect trainings! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facts and figures: 36 Athletes, 9 Staff, 1100 printed maps (+250 maps from competitions), more than 15h of total work alone for the relay training (setting the course, putting out 50 controls and SI-units and collecting the afterwards).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
