Events–TalktoMe


PARTICIPANTS: This event will use the whole club. . (see note for club of more than 38) DEFINITION OF PARTICIPANTS: Reader - reads the message to the Sender Sender – has the flags and sends the message Receiver – see the message and calls out the letters Scribe – writes the letters of the message MATERIALS: Conference will provide Semaphore flags, clipboard, paper, pencil, and one of several messages to decipher. INSTRUCTIONS: A field of 100 yards by 100 yards will be marked off with position flags. When everyone is on the starting line the judge will call “GO” The Sender will run to the signal flags, retrieve the flags and go to the marker marked “Sender” and facing the field. If your Reader and Runner are two different pathfinders, the Reader runs to the marker marked Sender and sits on the ground with their back to the field in front of the Sender. The Runner will go to a table with a bucket and draw out one message and then hand the Reader the message. If the Runner and Reader are the same pathfinder, the Runner will go to a table with a bucket and draw out one message then run to the marker marked Sender and sit down in front of the Sender with their back to the field. If you have an odd number of pathfinders you will have both a runner and reader, if you have an even number of pathfinders the runner and the message man are the same person. The Receivers will run to one of the position markers flags (only one Receiver per marker). The markers are numbered. If you have four Receivers, they will go to markers numbered 1 to 4. If you have 10 receivers they will go to markers 1 -10. Etc. The Scribes will run to a table get a clip board and run to one of the Receiver pathfinders. Only one Scribe per Receiver. The Scribe sits on the ground in front of the Receiver with their back to the Sender. When the Scribes, Receivers, Sender and Reader are all in place, the judge with blow the whistle. This is the signal for the Sender to start sending the signals.

Events–TalktoMeContinued


The Reader will quietly tell the Sender which letters to send and they will use the semaphore to send the message. The Receiver tells the letters quietly to the Scribe as they are sent and the Scribe writes down the message. The Scribe is not to talk. When the message is complete. All of the pathfinders run to the starting line. When all are across the line the judge stops the clock. The clip boards are handed to the judges for the message to be graded. POINTS:

Time Points Participation points 50 points Complete Message correct*

50 points

50% of the message correct*

25 points

<= 1:30min 100 points >1:30min and <=2:30min 90 points >2:30min and <=4:00min 80 points >4:00min and <=5:00min 70 points >5:00min 40 points

Message scores will be the average of the teams. For example: four teams with massages. Two have it correct, one is 50% right and one is less than 50%. ( 50+50+25+0)/4= 31 point for message.

RESOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_semaphore TEAMS: For example: If your club has 10 pathfinders; one will send (Sender), one pathfinder runs to retrieve the message (Runner/Reader) and dictate the letters to the Sender and you will have four teams of 2 (Receivers and Scribes). If your club has 9 pathfinders, one will send (Sender), the runner to get the message (Runner), a Reader who a dictates the letters to the Sender and three teams of 2 (receiver and Scribe),. This event is set up for 38 pathfinders at one time. If your club has more than 38 break them up into groups of 38 or less and run the event multiple times. Once with each group. Your score will be the average from each of your teams.
