Here's how it works: Visit every county in GCGC Territory, earning points (one point per how many finds your cache has when you find it) along the way. The participant with most points at the end of the contest wins! ALL PARTICIPANTS will get a prize chance (or chances) to WIN A GREAT GCGC PRIZE! You will also get "GCGC Points" for every county you find a cache in.
THE EASY RULES:
- This contest runs until August 31.
- Visit as many counties in GCGC Territory that you can, finding ONE CACHE in each county for this contest.
- The caches you submit in this contest cannot have been found by you before.
- You get points based on how many times the cache you find in each county was FOUND BEFORE YOUR FIND.
- The maximum number of points you can earn per cache is 300. (If you find a cache found more than 300 times, that cache is worth 300 points.)
- You may change your entry in any county as many times as you want (assuming you re-visit the county and find a new cache).
- Please update your entry within a day or two of your cache find - please do not "suprise attack" everyone by reporting all your finds the last day of the contest (unless you visit all counties on August 30).
- If you complete the "Tour de GCGC" (by finding a cache in ALL 16 counties), you get 600 BONUS POINTS added to your score.
- Only caches listed on www.geocaching.com and www.opencaching.us (that you have not previously found) count for this contest.
- 100 point bonus for All Events and Opencaching.us entries (300 point max still counts, so if an event is attended by over 300, the bonus will not help you. If the event was attended by 225, the total for that event would be 300 with the bonus).
- Just like the Tour De France, please, no doping. We will test for steroids!
PRIZE CHANCES:
- Every Participant gets ONE PRIZE CHANCE for participating (entering at least one county)
- Any Participant that finds a cache for every county in GCGC Territory will get FIVE ADDITIONAL PRIZE CHANCES.
- Contest winner (cacher with most points at the end of the contest) will get THREE ADDITIONAL PRIZE CHANCES.
- Second Place will get TWO ADDITIONAL PRIZE CHANCES.
- Third Place will get ONE ADDITIONAL PRIZE CHANCE.
- At the end of the contest, we will draw cards (or use some other suitable random method) based off the Prize Chances to determine the coin winner.
