Your competitor and SI numbers will be checked and you will be admitted into the start chute. You will CLEAR and CHECK your SI stick in the first stage of the chute and then go to the CONTROL DESCRIPTIONS table in the second stage. In the last stage you will receive your map. Please write your competitor number or name on the back. You may ask an attendant to look at your map and identify the course, but you may not look at your map. On the final beep you will punch the start box and run to the start triangle flag. There will be NO punch on this flag. If you are late to your start or need to change your start time please go directly to the Start Director on the right hand side of the chute.
