As long as you log it into a cache overthere somewhere,
yep, I'm in. I'll split the prize with you if I win....

Good idea Steve. I'll be going to Vietnam later this
year. Are you in?

Additionally, if a cacher were going to spend the summer in
Canada or Mexico or traveling the country, then they could
take their bug with them and rack up a lot of miles. 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? :)

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. :)

{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!!

Good point, but no, you can't hold or move your own
entrant. I'll update the race rules to reflect that.

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?

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.

Hey All, don't forget to order
travelbug dogtags if you need 'em for the
SLAGA Travelbug Race. 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.
