The entire family will have fun at this new fishing event.
This event will be fun for the entire family!
Caches will be placed at local fishing spots and marked with GPS coordinates that will be given in a list to all registered teams. The goal will be to visit all 10 locations and return within 2 hours to the registration area with the unopened envelopes that represent ‘fish’.
Any team can win!
The Geocachig Fish Commission will open the envelopes for each team as they arrive and post their accumulated point total along side their team name. Open ‘fish’ envelopes will be disqualified plus penalties! No team should have more then 10 ‘fish’ envelopes.
The final point totals determines the placement so even those who do not visit all caches can still win the prizes.
This event will be post on www.geocaching.com. There will be 10 temporary caches that will not be logged on the web site.
The geocaching event starts at 1:00 PM on April 19, 2008 at the Ridgway Firemen’s Carnival lot on North Broad Street in Ridgway, PA. There will be a $10 entry fee per team. Each team must bring their own GPS. All team members should travel in the same vehicle. Each team must sign a waiver. Registered teams will then receive a cache list or ‘license’ for ‘fishing’.
The event ends at 3:00 PM at the registration area where teams will be scored on UNOPENED ‘fish’ envelopes. Prizes will be awarded by the Geocaching Fish Commission.
. The caches will be stocked the morning of April 19, 2008 by the Geocaching Fish Commission.
. Each team will proceed to the cache locations in any order they select. Each cache location will have a supply of ‘fish’ envelopes.
. Envelopes will be marked so that there can be only one from each cache for each team. Teams that take too many ‘fish’ from a cache will be given a point deduction from the Geocaching Fish Commission. Only one ‘fish’ may be taken by each team from a given cache location. Any open ‘fish’ envelopes will be disqualified as well as forfeiting another ‘fish’ from your creel.
. Not all cache locations will have ‘fish’ and therefore have no points.
. Not all caches will have enough ‘fish’ for every registered team so the first teams to the cache get the ‘fish’ available.
. Some ‘fish’ will be suckers and have penalty point, or small fish with fewer point, some holes will have only a few fish worth many points, some streams will be posted for fly fishing only and have penalty points.
. No team should end up with more then 10 ‘fish’ envelopes, one from each location.
. There is one very high point fish available at one of the cache locations!
. ‘Fish’ envelopes must be returned UNOPENED to the Geocaching Fish Commission before 3:00 PM to be available for scoring and prizes.
. The final point totals determines the placement so even those who do not visit all caches can still win the prizes. We want this to be fun for the entire family!
Bribing of the Geocaching Fish Commission will be tolerated but will not earn any points!
