Sudok-O Challenge & Chili 2027 : MVOC Cold-O with Chili and Sudoku puzzle

This orienteering event takes place at Bill Yeck Park on January 9, 2027. Entry fee is $8. The event uses a Score-O format for individuals or teams and includes 20 controls spread through the park.

Participants have a two hour time limit to locate as many controls as possible. Controls may be visited in any order. Each control awards 5 points; a 1 point penalty is applied per minute after the time limit. Chip timing is used and a finger punch is used to stop the electronically captured time at the end of the search phase. Before starting, participants receive a small bag to collect one numbered tile from each control. After collecting all 20 tiles, participants are given an unsolved Sudoku puzzle and must use the collected tiles to complete the puzzle; a secondary stop time is recorded when the puzzle is finished for the total time.

Event supplies include high quality course maps and loaner compasses. Awards are given for Overall Male Solo, Overall Female Solo, and Overall Team (top score for a group of four or fewer). Food and beverages are provided free of charge by Beavercreek Air Force Junior ROTC and may include chili, soup, sandwiches, sweets, and hot chocolate. The event proceeds in most weather conditions; participants should dress for the elements. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
