Course setters and Controllers - Expression of Interest (EOI)

Any orienteer who is interested in being a course setter or controller for any of the seven events that will be held during this carnival is asked to make an EOI.

We are planning on putting together a team of controllers and course setters who will work together to produce quality courses that meet the technical requirements of each discipline.

Each member of this team will need to be able to follow timelines and participate in preliminary arena planning.

Members of the team will need to be available for a planning weekend in early 2023 (date TBC) and a follow up in early to mid 2024.

If you are interested in either a course setting role or being a controller please send an EOI to
