Orienteering training & club evenings
Orienteering training with GPS and QR checkpoints
PizzaCup supports straightforward training sessions, beginner courses, and informal club competitions. Build the route, invite participants by link, and follow times and progress live.
For training and informal formats
PizzaCup complements traditional orienteering tools when a quickly configured browser-based event is needed. It is not a replacement for official mapping, control, or timing systems at sanctioned competitions.
Flexible controls
Use a GPS radius for simple training or a QR code for unambiguous checkpoint confirmation.
Live evaluation
Start status, split times, finishes, and rankings are available centrally to organizers.
Possible training formats
- Beginner course: short, easy-to-follow route with QR controls
- Sprint training: compact route with staggered starts
- Team challenge: shared competition for a club evening or junior group
- Running training: set circuit with GPS splits and rankings
GPS oder QR-Code?
GPS checkpoints save materials and work well when a larger confirmation radius is acceptable. Trees, buildings, and devices affect accuracy. QR codes suit controls where reaching an exact marked point must be confirmed clearly.

Frequently asked questions
Does PizzaCup replace official orienteering timing?
No. PizzaCup is designed for training, beginner activities, and informal club competitions, not as a sanctioned system for official events.
Can I import a GPX route?
Yes. A GPX file can be imported as a base and then supplemented with checkpoints.
Are GPS checkpoints as accurate as traditional controls?
No. GPS accuracy varies by device and surroundings. QR codes at clearly marked points can be used for precise controls.
