Did you know that…
You can advertise orienteering events on the information board which is located next to
the result board. If you want to advertise or sell something in the event area (including
the accommodation and parking area and the competition centre) you have to have a
written permission of the competition organiser.
According to the rules of the Finnish Orienteering Federation (FOF), it is the duty of
all competitors to help injured competitors. Further, in case of a missing competitor, it is
the duty of any competitor to help if the organiser asks.
See the competition guidelines in competition instructions.
