Prije par sezona sam osobno izazvao polemiku na štafeti koja je bila na KOMARIMA kada su se svi koji su startali prvu izmjenu zalatjeli po trakicama u šumu na start point, dok sam ja zel kartu i elegantno po livadi otrčal direktno na prvu kontrolu. Tada su mišljenja bila raznorazna, a ja sam tvrdil da je to greška organizatora koji je loše koncipiral položaj start pointa. Evo što o ovom slučaju kaže David Rosen - predsjednik komisije za pravila IOF-a:
"The fact is that once the runner has crossed the start line, he/she is only concerned with getting to control 1 as quickly as possible.
If the organiser wishes the runner to visit the start flag which is some way off, then the organiser must make it completely clear e.g. by making a taped corridor with "uncrossable" ribbons on both side.
I don't believe that you can penalize a runner for going directly to the first control and (as you say) there is nothing in the rules to say clearly that a runner must visit the start banner. It is simply up to the organiser/planner to arrange the start (and the direction of the first control) so that the runners will naturally visit the start flag."
Dakle, nebi se štel mešati, al neki su tvrdili dijametralno suprotno...
