About this item: A contestant in "The Great TB Race of 2009"

As a contestant in the Great TB Race of 2009, I am eager to help my owner win. Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, but the only way I'll get a prize is if I earn enough points before January 5th, 2010. Here is how you can help me get points:

How to Earn Points

Point Values

Every cache visited
(once per cache)
1
Every 50 miles traveled
1
Crossing state lines or country borders
(in a straight line from A to B)
2
Posting a picture
(one per cacher)
2
Exchange with a TB/coin
(must name the other item in log)
2
Attending an event
(only once per event)
3
Earning an FTF
4
Attending an official checkpoint cache
5

If you would like more information about the race, where to find official checkpoint caches, or to keep up with how the race is going, then you can go to Trip's Geoadventures - The Great TB Race of 2009. There, you can get the rules of the race and find links to race news, stats, and more. Plus, you'll have an easy way to watch how your effort helps me win.

Please do not dip me into multiple caches. I will not gain extra points for the those caches you dip me into and it affects some of the numbers used to calculate the standings.

Now, time to continue the race.....
