The principles 2
The following restrictions have to be mentioned in urban areas:
•An International Sprint Orienteering event may not take place in the underground (e.g. cellars, underground buildings) or in buildings (indoor). Therefore, just the main level is shown on a map.
•However, important underground passages (e.g. lighted tunnel, underpass), which are important for the runners must be shown in a map.
•Traffic must be taken into consideration in urban areas. The organizers are responsible for the runner’s safety. They have to do everything, what is reasonable to prevent accidents (e.g. close roads or restrict traffic). If this is not possible, the chosen area is not suitable for sprint orienteering.
