Course Planning
I have not planned an event for a while, for a local event (D) is there any extra info that is now needed to be shown on the map in addition to the controls and control descriptions, e.g. should I include the "Event No."?

Re: Course Planning
We usually add:
- event date, if not included at top of control descriptions
- course closing time, as not always added by planning software
- BOF event number (think this might be a requirement, but not sure)
- emergency contact number for this event (only), typically that of the organiser
If there is space, sometimes also:
- names of officials
- course name in large print, as easier to read than just on descriptions
- event date, if not included at top of control descriptions
- course closing time, as not always added by planning software
- BOF event number (think this might be a requirement, but not sure)

The rules require:
18.8 The Mapper is responsible for ensuring that all essential information is shown on the map, this includes all of the following:18.9 The Mapper must define any ‘special feature’ symbols used as defined in ISOM or ISSOM on the map whether or not a full legend is printed. This includes ISSOM symbols that show features that are forbidden to cross.
- name of area
- grid reference of a defined point on the map or the centre of the mapped area
- scale and scale bar
- contour interval
- north lines with the date of magnetic north
- date of the map
- names of surveyor(s) and cartographer(s)
- holder of copyright of printed map and artwork
- map or event registration number
- access and permission statement
- any legal requirements for copyright of source material used to prepare the map
- specification used, whether ISOM or ISSOM
- legend – see Appendix D: Mapping for Level A exceptions.
[...]
25.1 Control descriptions must be prepared for all courses in accordance with the “International Specification for Control Descriptions” (Most recent edition).
25.2 A British Orienteering addition to the above is that the final box on the pictorial version or the final line on the written version must give details of the course closing time.
