Match Game '22
This is Match Game '22. Be the first to find a cache that matches the required Elements setting the goals for the next entry
The first player has to find a cache that matches the first Element. We will use that entry to set the goal for matching the 2nd Element.
The next player has to match the 1st and the 2nd Element from the list determined by the previous entry.
The next player has to match the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Elements set by the previous entry and so on until all Elements are satisfied.
The player that matches all the required Elements in the list at the end of the round wins that round.
This game will become progressively harder as each Element is added based on the previous matching find.
When a matching entry is made, check for the next goal on the list of Elements
Take the last entry and match each of the Elements in order.
After each round is completed an additional Element may be added to the list until we reach our maximum number of Elements.

Elements:
1) Cache type =
2) Difficulty =
3) Terrain =
4)
5)
etc....
Example entries and game play:
Cache name with link, Last element(s) matched
*These are fictitious caches. I am providing the next element which would be taken from the actual cache listing
Jimbo's Best cache (linked) Base <cache type set to Regular from the Element list>
Member Alpha:
A cache to remember (linked) #1 Type-Regular <matched cache type, set Difficulty to 1.5> 1 chance to win earned
Member Beta:
Not so great cache (linked) #1 Type-Regular, #2 Difficulty 1.5 < matched #1,#2, set Terrain to 2> 1 chance to win earned
Member Alpha:
Find this (linked) #1 Type-Regular, #2 Difficulty 1.5, #3 Terrain 2 <matched #1,2,3> 3 chances to win (total number of Elements in round). Total 3 (see scoring below. Total number of elements less previous single entry chance.
Round ends
Start with new Base Find
Gameplay Rules:
The Initial find will be Selected at random by the GameMaster. This is the Base Find (find a cache that matches the Base Find's first Element )
Progress through the Elements one at a time using the previous entry to set the next Element goal
You must match ALL of the previous entries current matches
First matching entry sets the Element goal for the next match. (only one entry per new Element)
Once an entry is made for each Element, no other entries may be made on that Element. Move to the next Element still matching the previous ones
Each entry must be a find from the same day as posted (Honor dictates that it should be found following the posting of the next match and not from earlier in the day)
Matches may be made immediately following previous Element match posting. (No need to wait any specified period of time)
The next match must be entered by another member (no matching yourself or twice in a row)
Each Element goal is set by the previous matching entry (taken from the Element list in order provided. The next Element is determined by the previous matching entries cache page)
Once all Elements are matched the round ends and we start over.
Element order may change at the start of each round
A new Element may be added during a round without warning prior to the final two elements being found at various round intervals until the maximum number of Elements have been added.
GameMaster reserves the right to alter rules or requirements at any time to enhance gameplay
No "pay to play" entries permitted (all must be able to view)
Match Game will run Now until Nov 30.
General Comments:
This will become progressively harder as additional elements are added as goals.
We will play a few rounds with just three elements to start to get the feel of the game. There may be delays in setting the Base cache depending on the speed of members finds.
Be aware the Elements may change order or type at the start of a new round (be sure to check before searching / entering)
Each round should be different as different caches will be entered each time with differing stats and Element order or type may change.
Everyone needs to be able to see the cache page to get the next Element they are looking for so a link is required (and no PMO's)
The first member to enter a cache matching the previous Elements sets the next element with their find.
Only the first entry for each Element is permitted. (If one is posted do not post another, move to the next Element)
We will start each round with the GameMaster selecting a new base cache. This may be replaced with the last rounds final cache being the next rounds Base cache at a later point (you will be informed if / when this is to happen)
Log your entry as soon as possible so that you are the first and others know what the next Element is based on your find.
Verify the previous entry is valid before posting yours (If an invalid entry gets through it is difficult to reset the game)
Stalled rounds will be restarted with a new Base Cache. (a period of 3 or more days with no entry may be determined a stall at any time by the GameMaster. Points will be retained for those that entered prior to stall determination)
The Base Find is a reference base. Find one that matches the first Element which is determined by that Base Find Cache (Base find is a valid find if not previously found by the entrant)
Scoring:
Each entry earns one chance to win
Each winner of a round earns a chance equal to the number of elements in that round.
If you win a round you get the round winner number of chances (not including any additional single entry chances earned during the round, they are to be subtracted)
The overall winner will be determined by drawing or die roll based on your chances to win earned during the game.
Keep track of your own chances to win as you enter (post it with your entry as shown)
