@Martin: As far as I know, it was somehow too late in the process to enforce 3 minutes start interval on the WOC 2010 organizers, as the program was already set/agreements made when the 3 minute IOF rule was made. I recall that I read that somewhere.

@Jan: How comes the WOC does not apply IOF Rules?

@Martin: Thanks a lot for your analysis. Seems like the three minute start interval and course setting was successful regarding avoiding grouping, despite what it looked like to me before being able to make a real analysis. That is excellent news – and very good for the orienteering sport. Just a pity (from that point of view) that the start interval at this years WOC is 2 minutes….

L. Thanks for the interesting discussion. Regarding cost versus human resources, I know from experience that it doesn’t have to cost you too much to hire people do to most of the live coverage work (e.g. live results, live speaker sound + GPS tracking). But I see your point – but still think that the orienteering community should be important for the organizers…
