WELCOME

Dear orienteers from all over the world,

From the Club de Orientació Catalunya, COC, and the City Council of Barcelona,

we welcome you to the 13th edition of the Trofeu Internacional Ciutat de Barcelona,

TICBCN 2019.

We are preparing circuits, as well as other complementary activities, which we

hope will be exciting and fun for all participants. This is our wish and the driving

force that pushes us to make the TICBCN once again a sporting and recreational

event. Our aim is that you, the participants, end up with a smile on your face; this

PRESENTATION The International Trophy Ciutat de Barcelona (TICBCN) is a competition that started with

the aim of allowing Catalan selection to share an event with other European elite

selections. Later, its aim was modified and it was opened to all participants individually. The

competition has kept through its nine editions its playful nature. The organizers are working

with the idea to achieve that all participants might enjoy the races and the city of

Barcelona, which is now a touristic and sportive reference site worldwide.

The Orienteering Club of Catalonia and the City Council welcome you to our city. We

hope you to have a good stay and to get the most out of the races that we have

prepared.

Now, on its 13th edition, we are preparing an event with two programmed races:

09/11/2019 Middle distance race at Parc Güell and Barri de Gràcia.

10/11/2019 Long distance City Race Euro Tour at the historical quarters of the city.

The winner of TIC BCN 2019 will come out of the sum of the timings obtained on the two

races.

ASPECTS TO KEEP IN MIND - Car Traffic: Traffic will not be cut off. Although traffic is limited in those areas, it is very

important to watch every time you cross any street. Please, respect the required

neutralized crossings, which will be monitored by the Organization staff and regulated with

the SportIDENT system. Pedestrian crossings regulated by traffic lights must be respected

too.

- Atention to pedestrians: Due to the busy traffic of the city, you have to be very careful

with the cars and people. Always respect pedestrians as well as roadway rules.

- First aid: First aid service will be ready in the competition centre on Saturday and at the

arrival on Sunday. In caseof evacuation, the injured runner will be transferred to the nearest

Hospital of the area.

- Traffic-Works: We are running within an urban area and it is possible that works that do not

exist at the time of printing the map, may appear at the time of the race. Similarly, the

Parks and Gardens city service could change the green zone of the races if,

unexpectedly,they started working on an area.

- Locker-Space: COC staff will improvise a place where bags and objects could be

placed, but they will not be held responsible for any objects left there.

- Showers: in the competition centres there will be the opportunity to take a shower on

Saturday as well as on Sunday.

- WC Cabinets: toilets will be available in the competition centres on Saturday and Sunday.

- Refreshment: apart from public fountains existing along the circuit, a refreshment facility

will be provided at the end of each race in the competition centres.

- Footwear: Metal studs are not recommended. Versatile/multipurpose footwear is

advisable.

COMPLAINTS Due to the type of race, we set that no circuit will be cancelled in the event of a control

misplacement.

In case of a claim for this reason, the technical jury might decide to cancel those legs

defined in the appealed control. Therefore, all runners must consider finishing the race

even though they find problems due to either the accessibility of the public to the controls

or to organizational errors. Any complaint must be submitted in writing before the prize

giving ceremony.

RESULTS Provisional results will be published in the competition centre and on the Internet.

PRIZES The first 3 competitors for each oficial and non-oficial categories will get a prize.
