Field checking generally occurs when the weather permits, and the best time of year for the Tucson Orienteering Club to accomplish this is usually during the cooler months from October through May.

Leif Lundquist went all out and set put on an orienteering meet for Peg Davis and Helen Deluga visiting in Stockholm. We had a great time trying to avoid the many bogs that we had never seen before. Luckily no moose were spotted on the course. Click "Read more" for pictures. - Helen and Peg
If you are a meet director and have ever wondered what to do with the
paperwork and monies received after holding a TOC orienteering event,
then read on:
Due to experiencing some anxious moments at one of our recent events, we
remind everybody that all participants in our orienteering events must
return to the finish table and check back in before the official course
closure time. Know what time the course closes before you start. Even

only way that concerned staff will know for sure that you have safely
returned. Please, don't make me go looking for you!
