The course of the series

• participants choose a starting group according to age and preparation;
• Members of W M 8, 10, 12 groups must arrive accompanied by adults. In order to facilitate orientation training in these groups, these distances are planned very elementary;
• The start of “Summer Magnet” is open from 9 p.m. 16.00 to 19.30, “Night in Magnet” - after dark, in “Winter Magnet” - from 8 p.m. 11.30 to 14.30;
• the participant, upon arrival, pays the participation fee at registration and receives a card. If the participant does not have his own SI card, it is rented. Then you can go to the start. Use of the room is mandatory! At the entrance to the start corridor, the participant “erases” the previous information on the SI map, expecting three consecutive sound and light signals. The participant can start at a freely chosen time by inserting the SI card into the “Start” device and, when the signal sounds, can go the distance;
• the distance is completed by marking “Finish” on the device; immediately after the finish, the participant reads the SI card to the referee and receives a printout with the results of the race. Attention! To avoid mistakes when receiving a printout, make sure that your name and surname are written on the printout! Don't forget to tick the “Finish” device before you go to the finish judge!
• a participant who, for various reasons, did not complete the distance, must necessarily notify the finish judge and read the SI card in order to verify that all participants have returned from the distance;
• It is possible to start the Magnet series with all types of SI cards, including the SIAC Air+ contactless marking chip cards. SIAC cards must be activated by putting “SIAC on” at the station before going into the distance.
• In case of loss of the rented SI card, the participant must reimburse the organizers for the full value of the SI card!

Valuation

• The overall points are calculated by summing the points scored in the individual rounds. In a separate round, “Summer Magnet” points are obtained by dividing the group winner's score by the participant's score and multiplying by 1000, in “Night Magnet” and “Winter Magnet” the points are obtained by dividing the group winner's score by the participant's score and multiplying by 1000 and multiplying by a factor from the relevant coefficient table;
• “Summer Magnet” evaluates the points of the best 30 rounds in the adult groups and the 15 best round points in the youth groups out of 81 possible;
• “Night in Magnet” scores the points of the 7 best rounds out of 12 possible;
• “Velo Magnetta” scores 7 points of the best rounds out of 12 possible;
