Getting a part of the map on the way to the start.

greenspun.com : LUSENET : orienteer kansas : One Thread

At a meet in Sweden, the competitors got a small piece of the map for the walk to the start. Along the way, the organizers had put out some controls. After each control (maybe 50-100 meters further on the way to the start), there was a sign that showed the location of the control. So the competitors got a chance to see a small bit of the map and even do a little practice on the way to the start. Sounds like a good idea. Maybe OK will test this idea at the Kansas Champs?

As a practical matter, would this leave enough potential control locations for the actual race controls (keeping in mind this is Kansas terrain we're talking about)?

Swampfox, you'll just have to come to the Kansas Champs (and Possum Trot) to find out.
