The most common orienteering race formats

Choose the format that fits your race – Blyzer generates the start list, results and series standings. You can set up any format in the wizard in a few minutes.

How to: Create race → Configure → classes and courses → open registration → enter times.

Race series

A regional ranking, a school cup or a club league over several rounds – points for every race, running standings and an overall winner at the end. Only the best results can count.

How to: Create league → Configure → number of rounds and points system → Generate schedule → enter results after each round.

Create a race series

Knockout sprint

After qualification competitors run in heats and the best advance to the semi-finals and the final. A spectator-friendly format for urban sprints and school events.

Guides and FAQ

Orienteering – FAQ

Can competitors be split into classes by age and gender?

Yes. You keep separate rankings for every class (M/W, age classes, open, newcomers) – competitors sign up straight into their class at registration.

How do I mark a competitor who missed a control or did not finish?

When entering the result you mark them as disqualified or did not finish – they appear correctly below the classified runners in the rankings.

Is it suitable for school orienteering races too?

Yes. Even a school round with 40 pupils gets its own start list, times and results by class or year – clearly and in a few minutes.

How much does it cost?

The basics are free – you can create and run a race, series or tournament at no charge.
