Cache Dash 11-AUG-12 Guidelines: The objective is to find the selected cache locals, "log them", and then report back to "home base" in the best time possible. Each team (1-4 members) will sign-up on the appropriate sheet. There will be two rounds of "Dashes", one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Though you may choose to participate in only one of the rounds if you wish, the total of caches found will constitute the team's total score for the activity. The final score will be calculated "per person" so there is not a large advantage to working in bigger groups. At the beginning of each round, every team will receive their "Cache Dash Log Sheet" which will list the coordinates of the cache locations. Teams should not start until the activity host signals that the round has begun. On reaching a cache, the team will sign the log and place a sticker from the cache on their Cache Dash Log Sheet. In the event that a cache is believed to be muggled, contact one of the event hosts. PLEASE replace the caches as you have found them. Once you have 'logged' all the caches get back to "home base" and the activity host will time stamp your log sheet. There are several 'evil' caches in the course. They are optional, but will give team a small time deduction (5 minutes) if unfound. Found evil caches will provide a good time bonus (10 minutes). All sheets should be turned in to "home base" at the end of the round. Not all caches need to be found in order to turn in your log for consideration for that round, but they do need to be returned to "home base" by the end of the current round. The winning team will be the one that completed the course in the shortest amount of time per person. In the event of a tie, a tie-breaker activity will be given by the host OR the teams will split the title and any other boons.
25 ArkGeo Points will be awarded for your attendance!
