---

by Ken Thompson 2003 Updated Ver 4.1 27^th Feb 2019

I would like to acknowledge reference to the previous guidelines prepared by Phil Hazel(1996) and notes prepared by Geoff Bennett.(2003)and Maarten Nieuwenhoven(2003) A number of other club members provided valuable feedback and input which is appreciated. Suggestions for further improvements and additions would be welcome.  I have tried to ensure that these guidelines are consistent with the current Orienteering Australia and Orienteering SA guidelines.

1. INTRODUCTION

Your willingness to assist the club by organising events or course setting is very much appreciated. It is hoped that these guidelines will assist towards achieving the following:

• Providing you with practical assistance as event organisers or course planners regardless of level of experience
• Help to achieve some degree of consistency with regard to levels of course difficulty.

It is important to understand that the event organiser has oversight over all aspects of the event including course planning. In the case of major events a controller is appointed by ORIENTEERING SA or OA to provide advice and direction to the event organiser. For all other events a club controller is appointed.
