Downtown phot-O score-O

December 1, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

$10

Join us Saturday evening at 4pm, December 1st in downtown Asheville for a unique orienteering event — our first ever urban score course, “phot-O!”

Here’s how it’ll work:

1. Mass start at 4:00pm at the Vance Monument. TWO HOUR TIME LIMIT.
2. Checkpoints – lots of interesting locations around town bearing variable point values. No orange flags.
3. Scoring – take pictures with your phone (“phot-Os”) of the items described in the clue description sheet. For example “Thomas Wolfe’s shoes,” or “Old truck in front of Pack’s Tavern,” or “yellow trash can, Rankin Street parking garage, third level, SW end.”
4. Method – accumulate as many points as you can in the allotted time. Course probably won’t be clearable, so you’ll need to strategize.
5. Finish – 6:00pm SHARP at Asheville Brewing Company, Coxe Ave.
6. Late penalty – 5 points deducted per minute you’re late returning to the finish after the 6:00pm cutoff.
7. Picture/points tally, beer, merriment ensues.

TEAMS ARE ENCOURAGED
