Angela was dsq ed due to misreading a crossing point and short taped route to a spectator control. She should have entered a playing field by a large gate and followed a short taped route to the control. She didnt see the crossing point, but navigated to a small gate near the control. She entered the playing field through the small gate in front of surprised spectators. A polish person at the gate said something to Angela but it was in Polish. Angela finished her course and was dsqed after she finished. She was pretty upset about the outcome, but said she had made some errors on her course.
Relay tomorrow. Sounds like your coverage is variable. It is very exciting being at the event this year.
Ian and Raewyn

The Aussie team blogsite http://ausjuniororienteering.blogspot.com/
has a bit more detail about Angela's dsq.
It was a compulsory crossing point. Difficult to see in my opinion.
I would have made it a compulsory taped route from #5.

Angela's dsq is wrong. Where was the iof adviser?
The route is marked as a navigate on the control descriptions. It is not marked as compulsory.

That is my take on it too Robbie. This should be protested and her result reinstated!

From what I can see I agree. Compulsory ROUTE would be (a) dashed line in the control descriptions and (b) dashed purple line on the map and I think (c) taped in the terrain. Doesn't seem as though any of these were there.
Brackets in the control descriptions is given as (with my emphasis) "mandatory crossing point OR POINTS". A high fence with two gates shown, I would think you are entitled to take your pick.
They haven't even made use of the purple brackets on the map which means crossing point, though even that is "A" crossing point and one would be entitled to use other gaps in the high fence.
And another thing: I don't think there's anything to stop you crossing a high fence (or cliff, or lake or piece of dark green) if you think you can manage it. Stricter rules apply for the sprint but this wasn't one. Adrian Zissos of Canada has thoroughly researched where you can and can't go, there's a discussion on Attackpoint somewhere. To outlaw the fence I think it would need the thick purple "uncrossable boundary" line overprinted on it, or a bit of purple striping around it. None of which was there.
And finally some people being turned back and others not is unfair as well.
What we don't know is everything in the bulletins for this particular event, including the managers meetings that they have. There might have been special instructions.

The purple brackets are there on the map - but next to impossible to see.
