Event Write-Up
By
I hope everybody enjoyed the sunny and relaxing Father’s Day at the park. We had a great number of newcomer families discovering the joy of orienteering in a very friendly and safe atmosphere. I hope they will be back for more challenging courses in the near future.
Thanks to Misha, a new northern section of the map was added with a crossable river section. Taylor took advantage of the new area to set the Long course. I wonder how many people actually took the shortest route crossing the river below the dam.
Just as a reminder for future events, here are some apologies from the day:
- Separate clue sheets were not available.
- The map case provided at the Start was the wrong size.
- A rather dubious control description of a fence that was actually a wall.
And many thanks to a great volunteer crew:
- Map Update: Misha Kreslavsky
- Course Setter: Taylor Pospisil, and his parents helping to set up the controls on Father’s Day morning!
- Setup: Graham Brew
- Registration: Sarah Williams, Steve Haas, Dennis Wildfogel
- Beginners Clinics: Graham Brew
- Starts: Emily Tucker
- E-Punch: Jeff Lanam, Jay Hann
- Control Pickup: Emily Tucker, Marie-Josee Parayre, Tapio Karras, Steve Haas, Stella Dai, Hoyoung Jun

You can see the event map with the actual routes traveled by participants, and draw your own route for comparison, in RouteGadget for this event (http://baoc.org/gadget/cgi/reitti.cgi?act=map&id=516). (Use of RouteGadget is explained here.)
- In RouteGadget, you can enter your route manually or upload a GPS recording and adjust to fit our map. The following tips apply to the GPS method.
- RouteGadget Tip #1: After selecting your GPX file, make sure to adjust the time offset between starting your watch at the start line and leaving the start triangle. The offset can have a huge impact on your route accuracy. For most local events, the offset should be set to 0 as we start from the triangle (assuming you started your watch exactly when you started).
- RouteGadget Tip #2: After uploading your GPS track to RouteGadget, you can create additional blue adjustment points by right-clicking your track. You can use these points to better align your route with the map, for example, along trails. You can delete extra adjustment points by right-clicking them.
Please tell Jeff Lanam () and the Webmasters () if anything needs to be changed.

Summer Series Results
Great to see so many new and familiar faces at the Vasona Lake event. I hope all the Fathers, and indeed everyone, had a wonderful time on this very fast (and sunny!) map. Huge thanks to Taylor Pospisil (and his parents!) for Course Setting, Tac Sugiyama for Event Directing, and all the volunteers who made this event happen.
I am missing a few years of birth (and genders). If you are included in these lists you can almost certainly improve your points/standing by sending me your actual year of birth (and gender):
- Short Course: Aloise Hann, Anna Staats, Cooper Lindberg, Imogen Robinson, Jackie Carozza, Ken Herman, Scott Lemons, Sri Rao, Susan Hann, Zara Stewart,
- Long Course: Brian Ritchken, Joshua Munic, Patrick Carvalho, Patrick Ye, Reed Mouldz, Sheila Baker
There is still all to play for in both series. The current status is below.
I’m looking forward to seeing you all at UC Berkeley on July 9th for Event #4.

- Notes:
- Event Directors (“ed” below) and Course Setters (“cs” below) receive credits as described on the main Summer Series webpage.
Summer Series points are earned only for the first course of the day. Thus, some course finishers have been excluded below.
Some points for previous events have changed because the entrants’ ages and genders have become known.
