Control Descriptions

Control Descriptions describe the features at which the controls are located on your course.

At Minor events including Summer Series, Local Street and Park Events, and club events, the control descriptions are usually written in English. At MetrO League events, symbols may be used for Moderate and Hard course control descriptions.

At Major Events including State League Events and State and National Championships, the control descriptions on Moderate and Hard courses are required to be in the form of symbols. English or symbol versions may be available for easier courses.
