Maps:
The
1996 Hammond Hill map
is being used for Day 1 of the
competition and a
new map of Yellow Barn State Forest
for Day 2.
Both maps are 1:15,000 with 5 meter contours, by Mark Dominie.
Courses, Classes and Awards:
Expect
the usual class structure on all courses from white through

also available. Individual awards will be based on two-day combined
times.

collegiate and
scholastic divisions.
