This is a series of 12 regular puzzle caches, 4 quarter finals, 2
semi-finals and one final. All are puzzle caches. You will have to
go to each of the 12 regular caches first and gather information
from those caches to help you solve the puzzles in the quarter
finals. Then once you have figured out where the quarter final
caches are, you will have to collect info from them and so on until
you ... get mad, go mad, or find the final. I thought of this
format after watching too many hockey, basketball and now world cup
playoffs. Please ensure you take note of the dates. They are small
in print so if your eyesight is like mine, take your reading
glasses or a magnifying glass with you. Some of the puzzles are
easy, some a little harder, some are done in a couple of steps and
some take several steps. Either way I am sure they will bring many
hours of happiness and bliss to you all. Enjoy!
