"Orienteer at Home" Tournament

Thursday, 3:30-4:30 pm
Dennis Wildfogel has been both an orienteer and a computer programmer for
over 15 years. His Training Tips have appeared in Orienteering North
America, the BAOC Bulletin, and many other club newsletters.
"Orienteer at Home" is a computer simulation of orienteering that runs on
either Windows or the Mac. A special course has been designed for the Sierra
2000 O-Fest, so you can see how you stack up against other orienteers when
running ability is not a factor. A practice course will be available, so you
can get used to the game before entering the competition. There are several
time periods that you can select to participate.
National Orienteering Day Photo Contest
Become an award-winning photographer by entering the National Orienteering
Day Photo Contest at the convention. It's simple: Just bring a photo or
two from NOD 2000 and we will post it on the NOD display board. Everyone in
attendance is welcome to vote. We are looking for photos that "best
captures the thrill of experiencing orienteering at NOD 2000."
Winning photos will be used in upcoming publicity, for which the photographer will of
course be credited. Awards for the top three photographers.
