no edit summary
The first round should consist of a min. 5000 km of hitchhiking, preferably through the country of the local hitchhiking club organizing it. Also, a minimum of ten checkpoints and six teams participating is recommended. Some checkpoints exist (far) off the road, asking participants certain skills in ''sport orienteering'' & ''navigation'' through unknown territory. If not enough teams are to be found, it is possible to participate in another club's qualification round.
The [[Baltics]] are having their qualification rounds in early autumn 2011.
