    Event Information

    Individual or team entries
    Individuals or teams can enter. A team has up to 4 people (maximum two M/W18+ in each team).

    Teams to be confirmed/adjusted on the day (each team member is a separate entrant).

    Start times
    First mass start at 11am. Further starts up until 11:30

    This event has a score format
    This event requires you to visit as many controls as you can (in any order) within 45 minutes in order to solve some pantomime questions. You do not need to know the pantomime plots but knowing the names of the characters is pretty important. The team needs to find 3 characters for each pantomime.

    Every team member gets a map and teams can stay together or split up in order to get more control visits in the allotted 45 minutes. The map shows 18 controls. You may also encounter one or both of two mobile controls.

    Before you set off (when you have started and have your maps) you may want to discuss team strategy before setting off.

    When you have either completed the challenge, or run out of time, proceed to the Finish as a team, and write down your finish time from the start clock. You then collect an answer sheet, write in the numbers against each Pantomime, and hand in the sheet.

    You will score 1 point for each correct character placement (maximum of 3 per Panto). You will have a point deducted for each minute or part minute over 45 minutes.

    No dibber but watch and pen very useful!
    No dibbers are required for this event, but you will want to have a watch and a pen (for each team member). The pen is to write down answers as you go; the watch to help you get back in time.
