World Orienteering LAN Games

The 2007 World Orienteering LAN Games took place July 22-26 in Mjölby, Sweden at the annual O-Ringen 5 days.

The tournament featured five days of competition in two classes: a Beginner class for the casual CF player, and an Elite class for the experienced runners! Prizes were awarded daily for the Beginner category, while the Elite category was ranked on all five races combined.

The races took place on five maps from the previous five O-Ringen years, generously allowed by the clubs listed:

  • 2002 O-Ringen: Skövdeetappen (IF Hagen)
  • 2003 O-Ringen: Uddevallaetappen (Uddevalla OK)
  • 2004 O-Ringen: Partilleetappen (Sävedalens AIK)
  • 2005 O-Ringen: Åsakabackarna (Jönköpings OK)
  • 2006 O-Ringen: Olberget (Söderhamns OK)

The maps, converted to CF by Jari Williamsson, allowed some of the best virtual racing ever seen! Because of the special nature of these maps, they were only allowed for the CF LAN, and never can be used in CF again. I hope you didn't miss this exciting opportunity!

A few screenshots from the each day's maps can be seen here:
