How to Report Results
The following information is needed from the pink cards in order to accurately record and calculate the club rankings:
General event information:
- Name of the event
- Date of the event
- Event director's name
- Course designer's name
- Course consultant (if one was used)
- Length, climb, and number of controls for each course
Information specific to each participant:
- First name

- Time (use MM:SS not HH:MM:SS)
Some Additional guidelines:
- Emphasize to the registration crew that first and last names are necessary
- Emphasize to the registration crew to print the information on the pink cards
- Have the start crew give a quick check to the pink cards
- Do not send anyone out with incomplete data on the pink card
- Excel or plan text is preferred
- Do NOT use all capital letters

FAQ
- How should I report the time?
- Orienteering times are always listed as mm:ss even if the time is over one hour. Instead of using 1:23:45, the time should be listed as 83:45.
- Do I have to enter the information in the exact order as shown above?
- No, as long as the information is somewhere in your report, I'll be able to dig it out.
- What format should I use?
- Excel is best, but I can usually read most formats. If you don't have Excel, then the next best is just plain old text.
- OK, all the information is entered in my computer. What do I do with it now?
- Easy - just attach the file to an email and send it to Vadim at mvg1969@yahoo.com
- I ran an event that only had White and Yellow courses. Do you want the results for this event?
- Yes, many people check the web to see where they placed. I will post the results from all the events that I receive.
