	A ~~team variation~~ means that runners of different teams go to different controls. OCAD allocates the chosen amount of controls regularly to the teams, but, to make the relay fair, each runner of the team get a different variation (e.g. Runner 1 goes to control 63, Runner 2 goes to control 55 and Runner 3 goes to control 125). The number of possible variations is given by the number of legs of the relay. If a relay consists of three legs, you will have to make three variations, so that the relay is fair. ~~Although, variations~~ can be equal to eachother (if for example you want to place only two controls instead of three~~), in~~ this case the equal variations are visited more often than the other one. In any case, OCAD will force you to keep the relay fair (i.e. all teams have run the same leg variations at the end of the relay). Although, you should verify the courses before printing.

	A ~~leg variation~~ means that there is a variation of the legs within the same team. This can be used for when you have a relay with three legs but the second leg is shorter than the other two legs. In the example above the first and the third runner goes from control 92 to 87, then to 85 and finally to control number 84, whereas the second runner goes from control number 92 to 107 and then directly to 84, which is the shorter leg. All runners who run the second leg of the relay will have this shorter variation. It is also possible to make team or additional leg variations within a leg variation itself. The same which applies to the team variation, applies also to the leg variation: OCAD will force you to keep the relay fair (i.e. all teams have run the same leg variations at the end of the relay). Although, you should verify the courses before printing.		A '''Leg Variation''' means that there is a variation of the legs within the same team.
