It is expected that events at British Orienteering Major and National events (including Scottish O League) will be scheduled at least nine months in advance, with the area to be used chosen and outline permission sought from FLS. There are certain minimum time-limits which require to be adhered to in the application process, to allow a responsible and effective approach to planning, by both the event organiser and FLS. These time-limits vary depending on the nature and size of the event, as per the following table 1: Event Type Definition of Event Type Minimum time limit for application Major Events Events with over 750 senior participants and international events such as the World Orienteering Championships or World Masters Orienteering Championships. 20 Weeks prior to proposed event date. Likely to be 2 years. Large/National events Events with 301 – 750 senior participants. 20 Weeks prior to proposed event date Medium/Regional events or small non- SOAC events Events of 151 – 300 senior participants or smaller events (up to 150 seniors) where criteria in para 1 apply. 12 weeks prior to proposed event date. 1. FLS will retain a degree of discretion to accept applications outwith these time scales in exceptional circumstances.
