The Knock-Out Sprint format is a newly introduced format to the Orienteering World Cup, and we here in Taranaki will try a fun club variant. There will be three races. The first race starts at 10:00 am, and the last at 12:30 pm. They are short sharp races with winning times of 6-8 minutes.

Qualification race
The qualification round is a shorter, individual start sprint competition where an individual will run, and their result will determine what heat they are put in. Start times will be given for this event between 10:00 and 10:30 am. So, please register for this event. Start times will be published at 7 am, Sat 20th May. Please get there early and don't miss your start time.

Knock-Out round
It is now the Knock-Out starts, and it is the first to finish that matters. Eight athletes stand on the start line in each heat and begin simultaneously. The first two to finish in each heat qualify for the finals. For this to be more inclusive, if you get third and fourth, you'll be put in your bracket for the final. This will continue down for all competitors so everyone gets to compete in a final.

The Final
First to finish wins the Taranaki World Cup Competition. One Wildcard entry will be allowed for the final that might not have qualified. This will be picked on the day by the controller, and they can still win it all.
