A Rogaine is a cross-country navigational and strategy race on foot, designed for people of all abilities.
Each team is given a map with about 50 circles marked on it showing where "checkpoints" are located.
You may visit as many or as few checkpoints as you wish, in any order and by any route, 
within your course time limit. Visits to checkpoints are recorded on a team card.

Some experience with a map and compass is helpful.
Much of the pleasure and challenge of a Rogaine is the strategy of planning an optimum route to suit your
team's ability.

Scoring points depends on the number of checkpoints visited. 
Each checkpoint is worth a number of points depending on distance and difficulty. 
There are stiff penalties for returning after the time deadline.
