(4) How to deal with special situations - arbitration law?

During orienteering, some special situations may occur, such as: the checkpoint is taken away by unrelated persons or the natural damage. The location of the checkpoint does not match the location on the graph. The results of individuals or groups in the competition are completely equal. For such problems, usually in the preparation stage before the game, the preparation team leader should lead the team members to carefully study, determine the handling method, and formulate a written document, which will be included by the technical committee when formulating the competition rules. If these problems occur during the game, the head referee will decide how to deal with them (see the head referee's responsibilities). If members of the leading group have objections to the referee's decision, with the consent of the leader of the competition leading group, all members will be called to raise their hands to choose another handling method, but it must be approved by a majority of more than three-quarters. In principle, lawsuits submitted to the leadership group after the game should also be handled in this way.
