I'm not sure if that's against the rules. I "could" pay someone to take my bug on vacation and rack up the miles on it. I could "split the prize" with the person.... Any takers? :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Laurie Elfrank To: Subject: [GeoStL] Re: SLAGA TB Race Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 14:09:58 -0500 Mike, I'm not familiar with stargates. If they transport travelbugs through the mail, then I would say no. The racers have to be escorted by a geocacher at all times. :) -Laurie From: griff@xxxxxxxxxxxx To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [GeoStL] Re: SLAGA TB Race Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 13:29:41 -0500 ExternalClass .EC_hmmessage P {padding-right:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-bottom:0px ;padding-top:0px;} .ExternalClass BODY.EC_hmmessage {font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;} Can we use stargates???? There are several in the US. Kansas and Texas have one. They transport TBs to another stargate at the owners expense. Crazy way to get miles!!

I'll update the race rules to reflect that. -Laurie (Denmother) Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 11:41:16 -0500 From: jemertz@xxxxxxxxx To : geocaching@freelists org Subject: [GeoStL] Re: SLAGA TB Race So you can't hold or hide other entrants, but I see no rule stating I can't hold or move my own entrant. Is it safe to assume that this would be considered fair? -Jon On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 11:33 AM, Laurie Elfrank < lwatermann@xxxxxxxxxxx > wrote: I'm glad you asked...Here are the race rules from the Spring Picnic cache page (GC18VM4): TRAVELBUG RACE RULES All Travel Bugs to be entered in the race must be new; that is, they must not have been dropped into any cache prior to the 2008 SLAGA Spring Picnic Event cache , so they will all have the picnic as a common starting point. Geocoins can be entered in the race and will be treated as Travel Bugs. All racing TBs and Geocoins (Entrants) should be dropped into the 2008 SLAGA Spring Picnic cache page prior to May 3rd. You can have as many Entrants as you like. There WILL NOT be travel bug tags available at the picnic. Tags can be purchased at Groundspeak.com. A limited number of tags can also be purchased for $6.00 each before the event by contacting JC_Geo, Wheelinb, or L Frank. All Entrants MUST be turned into the Travel Bug Race box at the Spring Picnic no later than 1:00 PM. Don't take them to the travel bug trading table. Volunteers wanting to pick up race Entrants should sign in with TB race coordinators (JC_Geo and wheelinb) by 2:30 PM. Preference will be given to volunteers who do not have an Entrant in the race. At 3:30, all Entrants will be distributed to the volunteers who have agreed to move them to their first cache. Owners of the Entrants in the race are expected to show good sportsmanship with regard to other Entrants. This means that if you find another TB/Geocoin which is entered in the race, you will take no action that will unreasonably hinder the Entrant's mov ement. This includes, but is not limited to, picking up and holding the Entrant or placing it in an exceptionally difficult or rarely visited cache. The race will end on December 1, 2008. The standings will be posted on the SLAGA web page (www.geostl.com) approximately monthly, and at the end of the race. There is a $2.00 fee per Entrant that will be used for the prizes. The more Entrants racing, the larger the prizes. Prizes to be awarded at SLAGA Christmas Party. Entrant which logs the most miles. TB/coin must still be active at end of race. Entrant which logs the least miles. TB/coin must still be active at end of race. First Entrant to go MIA.

The race will start at the Spring Picnic on May 3. Your tags will need to be activated and attached to your racers when you bring them to the picnic. The entry fee is $2 per racer, and it is open to all previously uncirculated TBs and geocoins. Prizes for the winners will be awarded at this year's Christmas Party. -Laurie (Denmother) Windows Live Hotmail is giving away Zunes. Enter for your chance to win.
