Hi @S123,
Checkpoints can be placed before / after the evacuation zone as shown in the sample score sheet, and there is no problem even if you do not.
The placement of the checkpoint is decided by field designer. (refer 4.3.3)
Please note that the only place that can not be made a checkpoint is the tile which has the score item. (refer 4.3.4)
Also please note that the sample scoresheet maps are provided only to help you understand how to use the scoresheets, not to illustrate the good course examples.
Best,
Ryo
