Cricket Holler Night-O Information
The Night-O is a score-style event where each control is worth 1 point. It is followed by the Search and Destroy-O! In the Search & Destroy-O you go out and bring in the controls (so the meet director doesn't have to). Each retrieved control is worth 1 extra point. You must turn in your punch card by 7:00pm and remain at the start until 7:00pm to be eligible for the Search and Destroy-O. You may not pick up controls early, or impede in any way the attempts of anyone punching a control before 7:00pm.
After both O events, we will have a potluck supper. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share, plus your choice of beverage. MVOC will supply plates, bowls, napkins, and plasticware, as well as sloppy-joe fixings.
