My point is that it is important to actually visualize the rulebrakings in places where it is beneficial for the runner. As organizers will probably never have enough jurys to guard the whole terrain (at least in smaller competitions) then it is necessary to figure out the problematic areas. This also means putting up tapes and fences where necessary.
For other areas (where runners are not capable of gaining time) the mistakes and timelosses are purely the runners own issue.
If this sort of mistake happens to be documented by the jury but is otherwise regarded as not really problematic then it is a bit unfair to disqualify them simply for making this mistake in the area seen by the jury (but not otherwise marked or prioritized by the organizers).

Crazy arguments for orienteering society: “If nobody see the violation than You can doit!” Something from putinoids rethorics “It wasn’t mee! Prove it!”

Probably, I am too old to sense old, good orienteers ethics…

The runners were caught on TV camera running down there. There was also a control marshal standing right at the entrance to the dead-end path, guarding a control that was used on the women’s legs, who presumably could also testify to who went down it.
