ACTION REQUIRED FOR 2014 SAC PARTICIPANTS – DUE BY AUGUST 15

Like last year, we are going to use live SPOT tracking of competitors during the Sniper Adventure Challenge for safety, logistics, and spectators.

In order for this to work, we need a link to each team’s “Shared Page” from the SPOT site. Here are the instructions:

1. One team member please complete and send us the following:
2. Log into the “My Account” section on findmespot.com
3. Go to the “Share” tab.
4. You need to use or create a “Shared Page” and then click on the name of the shared page, and it will take you to a page with a URL that looks like this:

   http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0ZMcLvSXpEPWpQSrWEziD7p9qj5v39cpx

   A password is NOT required, but if you have one, send us the password also.

5. Turn on your SPOT tracker, and put it somewhere where it has good GPS reception
6. Press and hold the “Footprint” button until it blinks with the POWER button/light.
7. Let the SPOT sit in a good-reception area for 1-2 hours.
8. SEND US THE URL from STEP #4, along with your Confirmation Code and whether you are in SPRINT or ENDURANCE class.

   Note: only send us the URL after the SPOT has been on and the footprint button/light flashing for 1-2 hours

   For example:

   TEAM: Smith / Sanchez
CLASS: ENDURANCE
CONFIRMATION CODE: 1324
URL: http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0ZMcLvSXpEPWpQSrWEziD7p9qj5v39cpx


   SEND TO zak@competition-dynamics.com

These steps will allow us to get everyone’s SPOTs into our tracking system and tested prior to the event so we don’t have last minute technical difficulties.

SPOT II/Gen2 or SPOT III/Gen3 recommended. You need to be able to activate “TRACK MODE” via a button on the device (the “Footprint” icon). Other models may not work well or be compatible with our tracking system. A SPOT that requires another device (such as a phone for bluetooth) is NOT RECOMMENDED. NOT RECOMMENDED: SPOT Trace, SPOT Global Phone, SPOT Connect, SPOT HUG.

Hi everyone,

We are looking for Range Officers for the 2014 Sniper Adventure Challenge [SAC]. The SAC is a “Tactical Adventure Race” that involves a lot of land navigation on foot (no GPS allowed) during day and night, practical shooting problems, fieldcraft, problem solving, physical and mental challenges, and other related tasks. The dates are Sept 5-7th.

Range Officers at the SAC will either run shooting stages or be a “judge” at a mental/physical/field challenge stage.

This event is extremely physical. Being an RO is an opportunity to be a part of the event even if competing in it is beyond one’s ability. If you have medical expertise we have a medical team to put you on.

For more information on Competition Dynamics’ RO program, click here.

If you’re interested in volunteering, please email zak@competition-dynamics.com

thanks
Zak
