Each symbol has a pre-assigned point value (the point value is a secret that only GBES Admin knows!) Each team should choose ONE sticker from the cache container and stick it on your cache page (that will be provided at sign in). You may choose all the same or you may choose a variety BUT you can only have in your possession 5 stickers. There are only 5 real caches; therefore each team should have ONLY 5 stickers.
