BAOC will host the 2016 U.S. Individual Championships National Meet. Steve Haas is the event director, with course setting by Stephen Harrison, Graham Brew, and Christine Brew. The event will take place March 18–20, with the Middle (Friday, March 18) and Long (Saturday, March 19) Championships at Morgan Territory Regional Preserve (http://www.ebparks.org/parks/morgan) (near Livermore, CA), and the Sprint Championships (Sunday, March 20) at Mills College (http://www.mills.edu) (in Oakland, CA).

If you've never participated in a National Meet, you might want to read this page, which explains why they are so special. Note that you do not need to be an experienced orienteer to be welcome at, and to enjoy, a National Meet. By all means, do not be intimidated by the "competitive" aspect of the event. Not everyone treats a National Meet as a competition​—​as with all orienteering events, you can make of it what you want. Furthermore, recreational courses are provided for those who do not wish to "compete".

Pedantic Note: You might see the URL "http://baoc.org/2016_US_Individual_Champs (http://baoc.org/2016_US_Individual_Champs)" for this event. It is the "public" link to this page. Note, however, that "US_Individual_Champs" in that URL is case sensitive, and thus must be typed exactly as shown.

Embargo Notice

Because this is a National Meet, the area close to the races is embargoed (ref. OUSA Rule A.7 (http://www.us.orienteering.org/rules#A7)). This is done for the purpose of fairness.

Thus, from September 22, 2015 through the completion of the events:

Anyone who visits the embargoed areas can still participate in the event, but will not be included in the official results, will not receive awards, and will not earn OUSA ranking credit.

(This notice does not apply to people who will participate on the recreational courses.)

Fund-raising Activities

The following fund-raising activities will be available during the event to support up-and-coming American Juniors.

Junior National Team Fund-raiser

We are planning a Junior National Team (JNT) fund-raiser at this event. We will be selling sandwiches after the races at Morgan Territory on Saturday and at Mills College on Sunday. There will be turkey or ham sandwiches plus a bag of chips for $7.00. We might be offering baked goods and sodas, too. Plan to refuel after the races and support our Juniors at the same time!

We would appreciate it if club members would be willing to bring some baked goods (cookies, brownies, fudge, etc.) on those days, that we could also sell. I would be willing to package them up for sale if you can get them to me on Friday or Saturday. Please let know if you’re willing to help out by bringing something or helping at the table. Thanks! –

World University Orienteering Championship Fund-raiser

The World University Orienteering Championship (WUOC) is an international meet held every two years for university students. This year's event (http://wuoc2016.hu/index.php/en/) will be held in Hungary at the end of July. It's a high-level meet where many of the top runners in the world compete, and it's a good opportunity for America's college juniors and seniors, graduate students, and 2016 graduates to get international racing experience. It looks like the U.S. will be fielding a good team this year, including many JWOC and WOC runners.

Participating in WUOC is expensive, so to help raise money for entry fees, we will be organizing a Labyrinth-O at Morgan Territory after the Saturday race. The suggested donation is $5 for the first course, and $1 for each additional course. Please stop by and support the university students!

Saturday Dinner

A group dinner will be held 6–9 PM Saturday evening at Handles Gastropub (http://www.handlesgastropub.com) in Pleasanton (855 Main St (https://goo.gl/maps/sKbAMkgyfNE2); phone 925.399.6690; see the map below). The evening will include presentation of awards for the Middle and Long events, beginning around 7:30 PM.

The cost for the dinner is $25 per adult and $15 for children 12 and under. The cost includes the buffet, taxes, and gratuity. The buffet menu is as follows:

Market salad: fresh mixed greens, sliced cucumber, tomatoes, scallions, garlic herb croutons, balsamic vinaigrette
Sauteed vegetables: chef’s selection of seasonal vegetables sautéed with butter
Mashed potatoes
Grilled chicken breast: marinated in sauvignon blanc, garlic, and thyme
Pesto and parmesan penne pasta
Dessert: chef’s selection based on freshness and availability
Beverages: iced tea, lemonade

You can sign up and pay for the dinner when you register for the event. If you later change your mind about attending the dinner (i.e., either from Yes to No, or from No to Yes), or if you wish to purchase additional dinners (perhaps for a spouse or family), please contact the to have your registration adjusted. Of course, no additional spaces will be available after the dinner is sold out.

Advance registration is not available (or needed)​—​simply show up at the event, register, pay, and enjoy your course(s). Beginner Clinics will be available​—​they are short, repeating sessions that introduce the sport of orienteering, and provide enough instruction to be able to complete a beginner course.

Sample Maps

Venue Maps

Previous events have been held at each of the venues that will be used for this event. You can purchase maps of Morgan Territory and Mills College via online registration. Also, maps can be viewed in RouteGadget for Morgan Territory (http://baoc.org/gadget/cgi/reitti.cgi?act=map&id=349&kieli=) and Mills College (http://getlostxx.com/cgi-bin/gadget/reitti.cgi?act=map&id=72&kieli=). Older Morgan Territory events can be viewed through BAOC's RouteGadget site (http://baoc.org/gadget/cgi/reitti.cgi).

Note: Both Morgan Territory and Mills College are embargoed. That is, you lose your ability to compete officially in this event if you enter either of those venues, with or without a map, prior to this event.

Training Maps

No formal model events are planned. However, there will be opportunities to train on maps that are somewhat similar to the championship venues.

Note that a $5 park fee is usually required. Also, be aware that poison oak is abundant in this park. The good news is that the leaves are budding, so the plants are more visible; the bad news is that the new leaves might have maximum "potency". You can read the Course Setters' Notes for the Sunol event for more advisory information.

In both cases, you can obtain the course map in either of two ways: (1) purchase a copy when you register online​—​it will be mailed to you after the local event; or (2) copies of the course maps have been posted as PDFs on the BAOC website with links above​—​you can print them for yourself free of charge.

Arrival Logistics

This section provides comments about getting to the Start on time, with time estimates for the various steps.

Start times are available here (https://www.orienteeringusa.org/eventregister/a40/reglist/home/2016-us-ind-champs).

Morgan Territory

The Middle (Friday) and Long (Saturday) are both at Morgan Territory Regional Preserve, part of the East Bay Regional Parks District. The Assembly area (E-punch download, day-of-event registration, snacks, shuttle pick-up, restrooms and porta-potties, etc.) will be at the Morgan Territory parking lot both days. Since this parking lot has limited capacity, most people will have to park at Indian Springs Ranch (9601 Morgan Territory Rd) adjacent to Morgan Territory​—​there will be signs, parking staff, etc.

Note: The road from I-580 to the park includes a lengthy section of narrow, steep, twisty, 1.5-lane road. Please allow more time for the drive than the distance would lead you to expect.

Carpooling is strongly encouraged due to possibly limited parking.

Note: There will not be toilets at the Starts​—​they're at the Assembly area.

Friday (Middle)

You should plan to arrive at the parking area about an hour before your scheduled start.

Extra clothing left at the Start will be carried to the Assembly area.

Saturday (Long)

You should plan to arrive at the parking area at least 75 minutes before your scheduled start.

Extra clothing left at the Start will be carried to the Finish area (not the Assembly area).

Mills College

We will have a room in the Haas Pavilion, just beyond the Assembly area, where items such as clothing can be stored, but you probably shouldn't leave anything valuable there.

Photo gallery image (click to enlarge)

Sunday (Sprint)

You should plan to arrive at the parking lot at least 30 minutes before your scheduled start.

Please keep in mind that there is an embargo covering the Mills College campus. Thus, for example, you should not drive around in the campus on your way to the parking lot, and you should not wander around between the parking lot and the Assembly area.

Electronic Punching

SPORTident electronic punching (E-Punch) will be used for both National Meet and recreational courses. Thus, each "team" will need an E-Punch card/stick. Rental E-Punch cards/sticks can be preordered through National Meet registration, and also will be available at the event.

An explanation of E-Punch is available here. More information about the use of E-Punch is available in our User's Guide to Electronic Punching, and will be available in Beginner Clinics at the events.

Awards

There will be two sets of awards for the weekend's events:

The three individual events in this meet are, respectively, the U.S. Middle Championships, the U.S. Long Championships, and the U.S. Sprint Championships for 2016. For each event, awards will be presented in each National Meet class (http://orienteeringusa.org/rules#A38) (except for Open classes) to the top three U.S.-Championships-eligible competitors with official finishes (i.e., no DNS, DNF, DSQ, MSP, OVT, or SPW).
All three events will be used to determine one set of All-Around awards for each National Meet class (http://orienteeringusa.org/rules#A38) (age-based and Open) for the weekend. Points earned from the three events will be summed using the Scottish system as calculated in OE2010. Your score each day will be:
1000 × (your class winner's time) ÷ (your time)
All-Around awards will be presented in each class to the top-three overall competitors who have at least two valid finishes in that class. Note that you do not have to be present for all three races to be eligible for an All-Around award.

The awards for the Middle and Long championships will be given out at the Saturday evening meet dinner (ceremony starting around 7:30). The awards for the Sprint and the All-Around awards will be given out at an awards ceremony Sunday at Mills College (aiming for 11:30 or as soon after that as possible).

Course/Class Assignments

The National Meet competition classes are assigned to the courses as follows (for the Sprint event, combine the two Brown courses, and combine the two Green courses):

    Course     Classes
    White      F−10, M−10, F−12, M−12, M/F-White   
    Yellow     F−14, M−14, F-Yellow, M-Yellow
    Orange     F−16, M−16, F-Orange, M-Orange
    Brown-Y    F70+, F75+, F80+, F85+, M80+, M85+, F-Brown, M-Brown
    Brown-X    F−18, F55+, F60+, F65+, M65+, M70+, M75+
    Green-Y    F−20, F35+, F40+, F45+, F50+, F-Green
    Green-X    M−18, M50+, M55+, M60+, M-Green
    Red        F−21+, M−20, M35+, M40+, M45+, M-Red
    Blue       M−21+

Age class ranges are indicated by a "−" and/or a "+". A "−" before the age means "and younger"; a "+" after the age means "and older". Gender classes contain "M" for male and "F" for female. Classes containing the course color are open to any age (but are not eligible for U.S. Championship awards). The "M/F-White" class is open to any age or gender.

Volunteers

February 24th update from the :

You don't have to be super-fast, but you should be competitive to the extent that you can finish your course in time to report back before the regular starts. Please let know if you are interested.
All of these are critical to having a successful event. The more volunteers we have, especially those who commit ahead of time, the more smoothly things will run and the better time everyone will have. This is probably our highest-profile event of the year, and we really want to provide a good experience to all participants.

This event cannot occur without the help of many people. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. You can use this online spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ab3yecU8so0c0JmxirmSIUBZi0Kh_8dwIJLzAPpJFsQ/edit?usp=sharing) to sign up for tasks.

Thank you to all the members (and non-members!) who have already volunteered to help during the event.

If you are not able to access the online sign-up, please feel free to contact the , who would be more than happy to add your name for you.

Please note that all volunteers will be able to run their desired courses.

New BAOC Club Uniforms

BAOC members might want to be aware that there's a "committee" investigating a new generation of club uniform. A representative of noname, a possible supplier, will be at packet pickup at the Marriott headquarters in Pleasanton Thursday night, and at Morgan Territory Friday morning. He will have different clothing items in different sizes to try out, and will answer questions about the clothing materials and sizes.

Please note that the club has not made any decision regarding designs and type of clothing that will be available. This will be discussed later as we gather more information from surveys. You can participate in a survey about interests here (http://doodle.com/poll/t4sqigifxznrgkf8).

OUSA BOD Meeting

Driving Directions

Morgan Territory Regional Preserve

9401 Morgan Territory Rd  (Google Map (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Morgan+Territory+Road+Staging+Area/@37.847945,-122.0155067,11z))
Livermore, CA 94551

Note: We expect parking to be tight, so please carpool if possible.

From the West & South: From I-580 E, take the N Livermore Ave exit (#52B). Turn left onto N Livermore Ave. In 3.6 mi you'll make a forced left onto Manning Rd. Take the next right (0.5 mi) onto Morgan Territory Rd and continue 5.5 mi (up the narrow mountain road) to the parking lot on the right.

From the North: From I-680, in Concord, take the Willow Pass Rd exit (#51) toward Taylor Blvd. Turn left onto Willow Pass Rd. In 1.4 mi turn right onto Galindo St. Turn left at the second cross street onto Clayton Rd. Stay on Clayton Rd 7.0 mi, then continue onto Marsh Creek Rd. In 3.4 mi turn right onto Morgan Territory Rd and continue 9.2 mi (up the narrow mountain road) to the parking lot on the left.

From I-5 South (north of Tracy), exit to I-205 (exit 458B) and merge onto I-580 West after 13 mi. See continuation below.

From I-5 Nouth (south of Tracy), at exit 446, go straight onto I-580 West. See continuation below.

Continuation for coming from the east on I-580: After going over Altamont Pass (good luck avoiding the potholes!), take the N Livermore Ave exit (#52B), and turn right onto N Livermore Ave. In 3.6 mi you'll make a forced left onto Manning Rd. Take the next right (0.5 mi) onto Morgan Territory Rd and continue 5.5 mi (up the narrow mountain road) to the parking lot on the right.

Parking

In addition to the (small) lot at the park, we will be parking on an adjacent private property. Please follow the instructions from the parking crew when looking for a parking space, especially on the private property where some areas must not to be used due to poor drainage (i.e., you don't want to get stuck in mud!).

If you park on the private land, follow the flagged route to the Assembly area. Do not walk on Morgan Territory Road for safety reasons.

Public Transit

Arrange to be picked up at the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station (https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=37.700936,-121.897538&spn=0.003476,0.005777&sll=37.700999,-121.896899&sspn=0.003519,0.005654&mrsp=0&sz=18&t=m&z=18) (17 miles from the event).

Carpool Sites

Carpooling is encouraged because of limited parking at the event. The Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station is a great place to pick up passengers for the ride up the mountain.

Another place to meet for a prearranged carpool is the Walmart parking lot (https://www.google.com/maps/@37.700036,-121.768405,16z?hl=en) (10 miles from the event). Just off I-680, at the North Livermore Ave exit​—​head south on N. Livermore Ave and turn left onto Las Positas Rd at the first intersection. Carpooling from a location that close to the event might not seem useful, but there are two benefits: one or more cars would avoid the drive up the narrow, twisty road, and more parking space would be available at the event site. (Please do not park close to the store entrance.)
