The Sportident(SI) electronic punching system will be used. Conventional cardboard type control card is replaced by SI card and at each control, conventional needle type punch is replaced by a control unit. SI card is a small stick, which can be attached to one of your fingers by a rubber band. At each control, the top of the SI card must be placed into the hole on the top of control unit mounted on the control until a red light and a beep occur.
Each control also has a traditional needle type punching device. Runners only are allowed to use the needle type punching device only when electronic punching system is out of order i.e. runners DO NOT get a red light and beep. The needle punching must be made on one of designated boxes shown as R1, R2 and R3 on your map. Runners who use the traditional punching devices without due cause may be disqualified.
If you lose SI card, you will be disqualified and \2000 will be charged for the compensation.
