Queensland Navigation Challenge 2007

The Event
The Queensland Navigation Challenge is a Punch style event open to all vehicles & competitors regardless of vehicle type, modifications, competition experience or anything else that normally precludes people from entering an event.

The event is a points based event with a set finishing time and is being held within the confines of Land Cruiser Mountain Park. The rules are designed to allow all vehicles an equal chance of winning the event and there will only be one class.

The basic structure of the event is there will be a number punches at various locations, you will be given the GPS locations of the punches. The aim of the event is to get as many punches marked off on your scorecard as possible within the time limit allowed. The locations of the punches will vary from easy to very difficult. All punches will start with the same number of points allocated to them, however, the final score will be dependant on how many people get to that punch by the end of the event.

Example:
If punches are worth 1000pts at the start of the event, and 10 competitors get to it, the final score for the punch will be 100, but if only 2 competitors get to it, it’s final score will be 500. If only one team reaches a punch, the punch will be worth 1000pts. You will have the opportunity to decide whether to go for lots of easy points or a few hard ones to really boost your score.
