With a kind permission of Tarmo Klaar, you can use a program, which he has developed, to analyse the different route choices of teams. Download from http://www.tak-soft.com/tarmo/osport/novaRogain05/RogainRoute05.zip file. Unzip the files to a separate folder and run a program RogainRoute.exe. In the program click the folder icon behind "rogain.rada", choose  route, which openes the rogain map with controls. Pick the teams you are interested in by double-clicking them. Now by clicking on the pencil, the program will draw the route choice of selected teams. As the map is large, you may get a better overview by changing the zoom  under "Joonista", "Suurendus".

• 8 and 3 hour options (non EC, 3h may participate individually)

  There are three gender classes of competition: Men’s teams (M), Women’s teams (W), and Mixed teams (X), the latter being all teams that contain at least one female and one male rogainer. Within each gender class, all teams are in the Open age category. In addition, some teams will be eligible for restricted age categories as follows:

2. Veteran (V): all team members must be 40 years of age or over on the first day of competition.
3. Super Veteran (SV): all team members must be 55 years of age or over on the first day of competition. (Note: all super veteran teams are automatically in the veteran class also).

Rules

• The object of the competition is to score points within the time limit  (24 h, 8 h or 3h)  by finding checkpoints located on the competition terrain.
• The value of the checkpoints varies, depending on the difficulty-distance from the event centre, from 2 to 7, and is equal to the decimal place of the checkpoint number. Checkpoints may be visited in any order (score orienteering).
• A team shall record its visits to a checkpoint by punching with SI card. The checkpoint site is additionally marked with small pieces of paper so that the competitors could be sure that the checkpoint was there in case the control flag or SI station is missing. A visit to such checkpoint can be proved by punching to the map or picking up one scrap of a paper.
• A team's score shall be the value of the checkpoints visited less penalties. Late returns are penalized by deducting points: up to 1 minute - 1 point, for exceeding each next full minute - 1 point. Teams finishing more than 30 minutes late shall be deemed ineligible for a placing.
• The team with the greater score, or in the event of a tie, the team which finished earlier, shall be awarded the higher placing. Each team must remain together (i.e. within eye-sight of each other) for the entire period from the start until their retirement from the course.
• On the course, i.e. during the competition outside the event center, competitors can use only food or other supplies taken along from the event centre. The only exception is drinking water offered by organizers. Competitors shall not deliberately rest within sight of a checkpoint. The only navigational aids that may be carried on the course are maps provided by organizers, compasses and watches.
