810 Control point and focus point
The focus point (i.e. the point in the centre of a
control circle) can be used when it is necessary to
clarify the exact position of a control for instance in
a dense track network. In ski-orienteering a control
is preferably placed in one track only, not in
crossings or junctions. A focus point helps specify
the exact track where a control is situated.
Colours: control point: lower purple, focus point:
upper purple
Diameter of control circles 5.5 – 6.0 mm (same in all
scales), width of line 0.5 mm, diameter of focus
point 0.65 mm
811 Control number and control code
Code numbers for controls are placed either next to
control numbers on the terrain area of a map or on a
separate control code list.
