1.2 Vaasa
Vaasa – Life and energy
Vaasa is a beautiful historic city which has something to offer everyone. A good employment
situation, high energy, and happy residents are attracting people to both visit and stay. Among
the 67.620 inhabitants of the city one can find people of one hundred different nationalities.
The bilingualism can be heard in daily life.
History and modern times, culture and nature, as well as the shopping centres and the market hall are all meeting each other in the over 400 year old city of Vaasa. The city is a port to
Finland’s only World Natural Heritage Site, The Kvarken Archipelago. Growing company areas,
development of logistics, innovations and collaborations make up a good ground for the future
of Vaasa.

Living the dream in the Vaasa region
The Vaasa region is known for its energy technology cluster, and for a good reason. Here you’ll
find over 10.000 employees who spend their days thinking up energy solutions; that is ¼ of the
workforce of the entire Finnish energy industry.
However, as we all know, every source of energy needs to be recharged once in a while. This
is the place where you can recharge your batteries. Whether it is through nature, culture, activities or events, you will find it here. For example, we have the Kvarken archipelago, the only
Finnish Natural Heritage Site on UNES­CO’s World Heritage List, as well as numerous concerts,
happenings and activities for the whole family. For more up-to-date information, check out our
website and enjoy www.visitvaasa.fi
Energy is not lacking from the events organized around the year either. Sports are close to the
hearts of the inhabitants in Vaasa, and it gathers the people to support their league level ice
hockey team, their football team on the new Elisa Stadium as well as athletics on top level, as
Vaasa hosts the European Championships of the 1st league of Team Championships this summer. See you on Karl’s Stadium June 23rd-25th 2017.
Welcome to Vaasa!

The winner of each individual event and each relay in each match shall score as many points
as there are teams competing in the respective League, the second will score one fewer, and
so on. Athletes or relay teams with no valid performance, disqualified or not finishing shall not
score.
For the qualification rounds held for the track events up to 400m inclusively, the athletes who
competed, but did not qualify for the finals, would receive points according to their ranking,
based on the amalgamated results of two heats (i.e. overall ranking from 9 to 12).
In case an athlete qualified for the final, but subsequently had no valid result (i.e. either DQ or
DNF or DNS), he/she will still be eligible to receive minimum points according to the qualification rounds (e.g. taking 8th place in the overall ranking). In case there are more than one athlete with no valid results in the final, the relevant points will be equally distributed, according
to the point 602.10 below.
For the relays, the results of the two heats are amalgamated, with the teams’ times determining their placings. In case of a tie between teams in the different heats for relays, the photo
finish judge shall consider the actual times to the 1/1000th of a second. If the tie cannot be
broken the attributable points shall be divided equally between them.
