How to be an E-Punch Coordinator

The E-Punch coordinator is responsible for setting up and running the E-punch software for the event. He/she brings the E-punch equipment and tent, sets up the hardware, starts the software, trains the finish line volunteers if necessary, and posts results following the event.

The E-Punch coordinator needs to be very familiar with the operation of the E-Punch software and be able to resolve hardware and software problems as they arise.

Ben Hall (Cascade OC) has written an e-punch operator's manual, available at http://www.nwlink.com/~ben/odocs/. The Canadian Orienteering Federation also has a SportIdent guide for organizers (Cascade OC practice differs from the Canadian procedures).
