Rules of home-brewing

When doing homebrew orienteering race there is only one rule:
The map is new or it is updated from the previous bad state to a not-so-bad state (but most likely still pretty bad state). That means that the map will most likely be very far from a good quality map, but we must try hard to make it enjoyable.




Homebrew is looking for...

We are looking for mapmakers, course setters, controls pickers, anything goes.
The new season is looking exciting...

We are planning on the following events (not all will happen):

Quincy lakes: Quincy south (old map, to be updated), Quincy North, which consists of Quincy middle and Quincy North (two new maps, work under-way, we need to to field work there). The plan would be to have 3 races in a weekend.
Tiger North (new map, first scouting done there - looking for help with map).
Willows fjords (old map, to be updated)
Crestwoods park (old map, to be updated)
Drunken Charlie (old map, to be updated)

Then there is a sprint map of Redmond Triangle in works (also known as our current apartment complex, but   very questionable if anything can happen there).
