International specifications for control descriptions updated
All orienteers should note that a new specification for control descriptions has been published by the International Orienteering Federation's Rules Commission and replaces the version from 2018. It contains several changes, most notably a new symbol for "Map flip" (below), and that control descriptions on the map are now printed in black.
Major changes compared to the 2018 version include:
Description Sheet should be printed in black.
New symbol added for a Map flip (turn the map over).
New symbol added for a Railway or tramway.
Use of Top and Beneath symbols extended to include the Upper or Lower of two levels.
Use of Copse symbol extended to include a more runnable area of trees surrounded by thicker forest.
Use of Building symbol extended to include a pillar supporting a roof.
