MTB-O: Änderungen im WRE-Kalender 2006

Die International Orienteering Federation gibt folgendes bekannt:

We would like to inform you about the changes in MTB-O WRE Programme.

The MTB-O Commission has decided that the events during official
WOC training camp in Finland (10th and 11th June 2006) will be included
to  the World Ranking Programme. Please check
http://www.jalasjarvi.fi/ya/suunnistus/fillari2006/linen_race2006.html
for details.

This change in the programme is due to cancelled events from 13th and 14th May 2006
in Germany.

Below you can see the new rule for Red Group provided by the MTB-O Commission:

In the WOC Middle Distance competition (for which there is no
qualification race), for both women and men, the Red Start Group
will consist of the following competitors, provided they are
members of their Federation’s team (as per Competition Rule 6.6)
for this competition:
- the reigning World Champion for Middle Distance
- The 9 top-ranked competitors in the IOF World Ranking list on
  31st December 2005. In the case of a tie, all competitors concerned
  will be included in the Red Start Group

If the above rule provides less than 10 runners, the Red Start Group will
be increased to comprise 10 runners by adding the next-best ranked competitors
from the IOF World Ranking list (in case of a tie all competitors concerned
will be included in the Red Start Group).

A draft list of the members of the Red Start Group shall be published with
Bulletin 4 for WOC. The list shall contain at least 5 reserve names according
to the filling procedure described above. The final members of the Red Start
Groups shall be named by the Organiser after entries have closed and at
least 1 hour before the team leader’s meeting for the relevant competition
begins.

The start order within the Red Start Group will be drawn at random subject
to the provisions of Competition Rule 12.6.

The Red Start Group starts last.
