A warm welcome to the 9 competitions of Swedish Forest Cup!

The competitions are in beautiful forests in Sweden and will be on 4 different maps wellknown for their interesting terrain. WOC 1968 as well as the final of the Swedish league 2018 were on one of the maps. One of the world cups 1988 were on one of the maps and a number of national events have been held on the 2 other maps.

The photos have been taken in the terrain and most often not from a path. That makes it sometimes a bit more difficult to set the location of the chair and the tasks take a little longer than usually to solve. In order to increase the possibility to solve the tasks in time for all people and to make it more important to read the map carefully both the answer time per task as well as the penalty time for errors have been increased to 60 seconds.

The maps were originally mapped to be readable in 1:15000 or 1:10000 scale. When scaled up to 1:5000 and/or 1:2500 small errors might appear. In addition it has to be mentioned that the size of the control circles are not fixed during the series. The size of circles should therefore not be used to solve the tasks.

My intention is to have clear zeros and the zero tolerance is 4 m, no side problems.

8 best results will be calculated in the total ranking.

Comments and questions are highly appreciated and I can be reached at christian.enberg@gmail.com For support regarding the Simulator you should reach out to Libor as usual.

My main goal with this series is to entertain during a difficult time and for some minutes let you be at least virtually in the forest. Hopefully we soon can attend competitions in the real world again.

Good luck to you all and I really hope you will enjoy the competitions. Christian Enberg
Dear competitors!
After some years of thinking, the lack of Torus course setters in past years and my personal bad experience with renting a map for my next competition led me to an idea of a voluntary contribution for the Torus course setters and the server administration. I've set up a transparent account and if any of you feel like helping the people who are preparing this fun for you, you can send a small amount of money to this account. If you add a comment with the intended recipients, the whole sum will be sent to them, otherwise it will be divided among the currently running series. My idea is that 5 EUR per series is a reasonable contribution for both sides... 
The account data is
BIC: FIOBCZPPXXX
IBAN: CZ11 2010 0000 0025 0336 7743
Owner: Forst, Libor
Bank: Fio banka, a.s., Na Florenci 2139/2, 11000 Praha
The list of transactions is available on: https://ib.fio.cz/ib/transparent?a=2503367743&lng=ENGLISH
On behalf of all course setters, thanx for your voluntary contributions...

Based on the decision of the IOF to suspend the orienteering federations of Russia and Belarus due to their countries' role in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, competitors from Russia and Belarus are still not allowed to compete in TORUS events under their country or clubs from these countries. They can only compete as neutral athletes without country and club.
