The world cup rules are followed, ie the wc points are awarded.

does the fantasy WC in the NORT stage 3 consider the individual result of this stage, without any meaning of the runners start time. or the total result (first one who get to the finish)?

I think there should be focus to long distance too, at least in the end of the tour with chasing start. Real orienteering in my opinion is not some 15 minutes of running, there should be distances about 100 minutes too with mass start or pursuit.

I think the idea of the Nordic Tour is a good one and it has a lot of potencial. It seems, however, to be very expensive and too expensive for most teams to travel to and within Scandinavia, pay for housing, food, registration etc. I think there is not a very large “country count” at this years Tour, right? I personally wanted to run just the first race of the Tour in Finland before Jukola, since I am going to Finland for Jukola, but cannot afford to do the rest of the Tour. Unfortunately, I would have had to pay 160 Euros for the 1 race. This is the price of the whole Tour, which is an ok price for the 3 races. I was hoping to be able to pay less if only running one race. It seems that IOF made the rule that we have to pay for everything regardless of what we are running. I retracted my entry and will not be running the 1st race of the tour. I just cannot understand why IOF would make such a rule for the organizers. I would like to believe that it is the intent of IOF to have many different nations represented at a “World Cup”. Disappointing!
