Map & Course Notes
Saturday: Ridley Creek State Park, 1:10,000, 5m contours.

Course Setter: Sam Reed
Day 1 Map and Course Notes
The Map:
The Ridley map was last updated in 2014 by Marian Cotirta, adding a previously unmapped area to the north of Gradyville Road. The map is scaled at 1:10,000 with 5 meter contours. Smaller updates were done by the course setters in 2015.Due to the geometry of the area and the required finishing area, some courses will not be able to visit the new area. There will be two start locations: one on the north side of Gradyville Road and one on the south side. Blue, Red, and both Green courses will start at the northern start location and all others will start closer to the venue at the southern start location.
As a result of the large area covered by courses from two start locations, all courses couldn't fit onto the same map layout. Therefore, there will be two printings of the Ridley map: “Ridley North,” customized to fit Blue, Red, and Greens and “Ridley South” designed to fit the needs of the Browns, Oranges, Yellows, and White. The overlap region of the two layouts includes the finish area, but not the extremes to the north and south. The northern start is found only on the Ridley North layout and the southern start only on the Ridley South map.
Terrain Conditions:
Ridley can be described as hilly and thick. Thorns have taken over large sections of the map, making some places completely impassible. Undergrowth (indicated by the vertical green slash symbol) can't be mapped over green woods—only on top of white woods—leaving quite a bit of uncertainty as to weather a section of woods has thorns if it's mapped green. My best advice is to check nearby areas that are mapped white to see if undergrowth is present. Even with perfect map knowledge, some thorns are inevitable on Blue, Red, Greens, Browns, and Oranges, so it's recommended to have some protection. Rock features are sparse, so even some very small rocks are mapped, as low as a third of a meter. Rocky ground can often be negotiated without needing to step on rocks.Course Numbers:

Out of Bounds:
There are a number of private houses in Ridley. No course has any reason to go through their property, but the areas are emphasized by means of vertical pink slash.Driving in:
Parking is rather deep into the park (signs will lead you there from the entrance). All courses will cross this road at some point. Drivers—please drive carefully. Runners—take care on internal park road crossings. I don't suspect these roads to have much traffic other than orienteers.Control Numbers:
Control numbers will be from 101 to 179. This is a lot of controls for one event; remember to check control numbers.The North Start:
These notes are directed to those on Blue, Red, Green X, and Green Y.
- These courses will require taking a bus from the main parking area to the start location. To ensure making it to the start on time, be ready to get on the bus 35 minutes before your start time. The bus should take about 7 minutes to get to the drop-off point. From the bus drop-off on Gradyville Road, the walk to the start call-up line is about 250 meters, or about a 5 minute flat walk.
- Gradyville Road is unsafe and entirely out of bounds. There is one and only one safe crossing point—a tunnel that goes under the road. The courses are set such that the only viable route choice is to go under this bridge. The road will also be marked with pink Xs. Being seen on Gradyville Road will result in disqualification. Because the optimal path is obvious, there are no marked routes or other special considerations at this underpass, or at any other place on any of the Day 1 courses. (Note, this is different than Day 2, where some courses will have road crossings that incorporate a time deduction. This situation is described in detail in the Day 2 course notes.)
The South Start:
These notes are directed to those on Brown X, Brown Y, Orange X, Orange Y, Yellow X, Yellow Y, and White.
- The walk to start is about 1 kilometer, allow for 15 minutes of walking before your start time. Streamers will mark the path there.
- Control 101 is a special feature, a pipeline marker. Only Yellow X uses this control.
- On Yellow Y there is a deteriorating bridge over a small stream. The bridge could be useable if handled with care and the stream is small enough to cross without the bridge. Some route choices will not require crossing the stream whatsoever. Handle this situation within your athletic ability.
Sunday: Tyler Arboretum, 1:10,000, 5m contours.

Day 2 Map and Course Notes
Terrain notes
Courses will be generally confined to lands belonging to the John J. Tyler Arboretum. The Tyler Arboretum covers 650 acres, or roughly 2.7 square kilometers, which accounts for over a quarter of the total acreage of privately protected land in Delaware County.This is typical southeastern PA terrain. Model terrain and existing map of Ridley Creek State Park are highly relevant. It features a rather dense trail network, with 30 kilometers of trails crisscrossing a relatively confined area.
Roughly .5 square kilometers of the total area is surrounded by a very tall deer fence. This fence encloses the more formal gardens and plantings; the orienteering races will not enter this area.
Map notes
Like yesterday’s map, today’s was field-checked and drafted by Marian Cotirta in 2014. It is a 1:10,000 ISOM map with 5 meter contours. A legend is printed on the map. Small corrections were done by the course setter in early 2015.There is a lot of vegetation detail on the map, which runners are encouraged to heed. Light and medium green can be traversed, but dark green and dense vertical slash are to be avoided. The ISOM 407 symbol (undergrowth: slow running) is applied within the forest and in rough open. In the forest, it is true to form. However, when seen in the rough open fields, this green can generally be ignored; the fields were mown over the winter and the briars and scrub remain fairly dormant.

Out-of-bounds
Because this is an arboretum, there are many sensitive areas. The most sensitive, as described above, will not feature in the courses. However, there are other ecologically sensitive areas and private property within and on the edges of the competition area. These will all be indicated with the ISOM 709 symbol. Some of these may have a dashed line border, indicating there may be intermittent markings on the ground. Not every out-of-bounds area will have streamering. On the map, such overprinting may look as follows:
There are many cases when the straight line between controls would go through an out-of-bounds area. In these cases, the line between the controls will be bent to go around, using the shortest possible (though not necessarily optimal) side of the obstacle. This could be depicted as follows:
Needless to say, it is grounds for disqualification to knowingly or unknowingly cross into a designated out-of-bounds area. Some of these areas may be monitored by event staff, Arboretum staff, and/or private property owners. Don’t risk it.
Road crossings
All green, red, and blue courses go out and back across a major public road with limited sightlines. Courses are designed to force runners to cross the road at the optimal points. At each crossing point, the near control (from which runners will depart) is very close to the road and may have a refreshment stop. The subsequent control is within 150 meters. In some cases, the subsequent control or control feature may be visible from the road. In each case, there will be a marked route, with intermittent streamering, between the road crossing and the subsequent control. These marked routes are indicated on the map and in the control descriptions.These crossing points may be manned by event staff and/or emergency personnel. These staff will not be authorized to interfere with vehicular traffic in any manner. Nor will they interfere with runners. The staff’s function is to potentially offer a supplemental assessment of the crossing conditions at a particular time to runners present. Runners will cross the road solely at their own risk.
To reduce any incentive for runners to cross the road with less than the greatest possible care, the total time of the road crossing legs (2 legs on green, red, and blue courses) will be deducted from the total course time prior to results being declared final.
Aside from the road crossings, this road is also out of bounds. Running along this road is not permitted and moreover, is not an optimal route on any non-crossing leg. Away from the road crossings, the road is demarcated with ISOM symbol 711 (forbidden route) ‘X’s.
General Considerations
As suggested previously, the competition will be conducted within a small footprint. Many courses, particularly the longer courses, will therefore feature many changes in direction; courses may fold over themselves. There will be many controls in the forest. Careful attention to control numbers and descriptions is advised.
Trail O’
Even though this is a National Championship event the courses will be suitable for newcomers. Refer to the document links below to get more detailed information about Trail Orienteering.
This will be a two day event with a course on both Saturday and Sunday. Each course will start with timed controls and have a set of standard Trail Orienteering stations following. Details regarding the courses (# of stations, length, etc.) will be available on the website the week before the event. The times and correct control count over the two days will be used to determine the O USA Trail O Champions in the Open and Paralympic divisions. Medals will be awarded to the top 3 finishers in each division. Juniors (age <=20 years) will be eligible for non-championship awards in the Junior Division in addition to any placing in the championship divisions.
Day One will be around the mansion area of Ridley Creek State Park. This will be a separate location from the Foot Orienteering competition center and can be accessed by car. Follow the signs posted from the main road to the Trail-O registration tent which will be located in the mansion parking lot. Please park near the registration tent so that we will have minimal impact on parking for other park visitors using this area. There will be restroom facilities near the model event and the timed control area.
***CHANGE: Please note that the shuttle bus is no longer be an option for traveling to and from the Trail-O on Saturday.***
Day Two will be in Tyler Arboretum. Parking is in the same location as for the Foot O competitions. The Trail-O registration tent will be near the start for the Foot O competitions. There will not be a model event. Restroom facilities are in the barn which will serve as the event center for the Foot O and Trail O competitions. Awards will be given at 2:00 pm or earlier if possible.
The map for Day One is updated to ISSOM standard with a scale of 1:4000 with 2.5 meter contour intervals. Day Two will use a new ISSOM standard map with scale 1:4000 with 2.5 meter contour intervals. Open black circles represent benches. If there are other non-standard symbols used these will be posted at least one week before the event and on the map legend.
Paper pin punches will be used for both days.
The courses will be open for competition starting at 11am on Saturday and 10am on Sunday. If you would like to start earlier than your assigned start time please feel free to do so. Early starts are encouraged but preference will be given to people starting at their assigned times.
After checking in at the registration tent and receiving a punch card, a marshal will tell you when you can proceed to the timed controls. The procedure for the timed controls is included on a separate page and there will be copies of these instructions at the start area. After the timed controls are completed you will be given the map for the remainder of the course.
The punch stations will be found along the competition pathway after the viewing station. Only one punch at each station is allowed, multiple punches at a station will be considered an incorrect choice. Do not go into areas that have been marked out of bounds on the map and in the terrain.
The time limit has yet to be determined and will be posted at least one week before the event. A 1 point penalty for every 5 minutes past that cutoff will be incurred (for example: 1 point will be deducted if the finishing time is 1 second to 5 minutes overtime and 2 points for 5 minutes 1 second to 10 minutes overtime).
After punching at the last control, proceed to the finish. A copy of your answers will be kept for tabulation and one given to you. We will be using WTOC competition rules for scoring. Timed controls will only be counted for time. Thirty seconds for each control will be the limit and an incorrect answer will incur a 60 second penalty.
Answers for the course will be distributed at the event center after the last competitor has started, tentatively estimated to be 2pm on Saturday and 1pm on Sunday. Complaints and protests are to be finalized by 3 pm on Saturday and 130 pm on Sunday when the jury will meet for deliberations. Protests that are denied by the jury will incur a half-point penalty for each competitor filing the protest. The jury will have the authority to waive this penalty if they believe the protest was reasonable. There will be no penalty for filing a complaint regardless of the outcome. A final compilation of results will be available at 2pm. The results will be used for OUSA Rankings.
