  • Results of the survey – sustainability of applications for MTBO events – see the section with “Documents” below.
  • The IOF MTBO Commission is conducting a survey on the sustainability of applications for MTBO events. It has become quite challenging to find organisers who want to stage a major MTBO event held under the authority of the IOF. With this survey we’d like to find out why we don’t get more applications.The IOF federations as well as individuals such as MTBO event advisers or other MTBO enthusiasts have been invited by email to take part in the survey. However, participation in this survey is open to everybody. So, if you feel like sharing your opinion on this topic, please do so! There’s a short questionnaire available at here. It doesn’t take long to complete it, and the MTBO Commission is grateful for any feedback. Please submit your answers by the end of November 2023.
  • We are trying to collect oldies, but goldies 🙂  maps from previous high-level MTBO events. Please visit our MTBO maps archive.
