I am interested in being the event director at Ridley Creek in early 2017.  I need someone to help as course setter.  At this point I am completely befiddled by how it is supposed to be done now that our maps are all electronic.

Tim -this is great- can you attend the planning meeting on October 29th before Myrick Night-O @ 3PM?

That might be a good time to get you matched up.  Most of the most important work of the course setter hasn't really changed with electronic maps, and some course setters even leave the map production piece to someone else.  But, if you are interested in learning to use Condes, I think it's made alot of things much quicker which gives you more flexibility as a course setter and more time in the field.
