Orienteering Australia is calling for state associations to host a round of the 2011 SILVA National Orienteering League (NOL).
The 2011 NOL will consist of at least 4 rounds of racing. Plans for 2 rounds of racing have been set in place, consisting of:
- The Easter carnival in Western Australia (22-30 April)
- The Australia/Oceania Championships Carnival in Vic, NSW & ACT (1 – 8 Oct)
OA would like applications for an addition two rounds consisting of:
- A weekend in March. For this round alternative race formats (mixed relays, massed start etc) would be considered.
- A weekend in mid/late May which will also be the final WOC trials. The 2011 World Championships will be held in France.
An example of Victoria’s successful 2007 bid can be found here
A copy of the guidelines including Section 7: Example Courses can be obtained from the Operational Manual on the OA Website.
