World
Ranking Events
Two of Canada's World
Ranking Events (WRE) will be at the
Canadian Orienteering
Championships in Aug 2009. One WRE remains to be
allocated. We would like this WRE to be at the senior national team
selection race. We do not have a host yet. Is your club interested? Let
us know.
Each federation can host up to three World Ranking Events per
year (with exceptions for additional WREs when Canada is hosting
the NAOCs). There is a service fee of 250 euros/event which the COF will
pay. Here is the IOF
handbook
regarding World Ranking Events.
Here
is the list of IOF event advisors. The calendar of all world ranking
events is available
here.
As a general trend, the COF Board would like to see two of the events at
the national championships as WRE events and the 3rd WRE to be held at
another time of the year. Ideally as part of the national team selection
races.
Clubs interested in hosting a WRE in
2009 should inform the COF by mid September 2008. You will need to
submit the sanctioning request
form.
