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 movement. 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

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. -Laurie (Denmother)
