How to play the game?
The game can be played in any number of ways, but the most common way calls for players to locate a certain number of control points (CPs or "controls") along a prescribed course. Each control must be visited in order. When arriving at the control, you normally use a hole punch hanging at the control to punch a "ticket" to prove you actually found the control.
