Keep racers on course and make necessary course changes at the location assigned.

Split just needs to help racers go the correct direction.

Merge will make course change as outlined by the Director after all racers have passed that point. Depending on the speed of the slowest racer and the fastest short course it may be necessary to keep a collision from happening at that point. (Faster racer will have right of way.)

A course marking change needs to happen at Cedar and the Back Country trail. Merely placing yellow pin flags across at an angle to divert long racers who will return to that point later in the race.
