What is the Winter Cache Game?
The Winter Cache Game is a fun competition to get you out of the
house during the chilly days of winter. Designed for all
Saskatchewan cachers, the objective is to complete any 10 of the
game requirements for finding or placing caches during the next 2
months. Prizes will be awarded to the 2 top scores, the low score,
and the score closest to the average.
This is not a race. Some requirements have a higher (or lower)
score than others. Read the requirements carefully and choose
wisely. You are seeking points, not claiming the requirements first
although there is danger in waiting too long. Even if you can't get
the high score, cunning strategy may result in a prize.
To claim requirements for the Winter Cache Game, caches found
can be from anywhere. This game is not limited to caches located in
Saskatchewan. However the Winter Cache Game is limited to cachers
who live in Saskatchewan with the exception of those cachers who
reside in Lloydminster as it is a border city.
We will attempt to contact you in the event of any confusion,
however we may ignore any claims that do not meet the requirements.
If you have any doubts about whether a cache is suitable, contact
us before claiming it. We will try to find a way to say yes, so
lateral thinking is encouraged.
Good Luck! Have Fun!
Rules:
The short version: 10 requirements in 2 months; report each
requirement within 7 days of fulfilling as a note for this cache;
go for high, low or medium points.
Full Rules
1. Game runs from Sunday November 28th, 2010 through to 11:59pm
Friday January 28th 2011.
2. Register in the thread to let us know you're playing, no
later than December 12th, 2010.
3. Fulfill any 10 of the requirements listed below after the
start of the game. No more than 10 requirements can be logged. No
fewer than 10 requirements may be logged unless thou then proceed
to 10.
4. Caches you claim for the game must be logged on
www.Geocaching.com after the start of the game.
5. Caches must be claimed within 7 days of your task date and
before the end of the game. The post must clearly state which
requirement is being claimed and how the cache meets the
requirement. Post your claims on this cache listing page.
6. Claims must be made on caches published before the start of
the game November 28th, 2010. Caches hidden for claims which
require cache hides must be published before 11:59pm January 28th,
2011 unless the requirement states otherwise.
7. Each requirement must be claimed against a cache previously
unfound by you.
8. Each requirement must be claimed against a different cache
unless the requirement states otherwise.
9. Once a requirement is claimed you may not substitute another
unless it is rejected.
10. Points are awarded on the basis of either: Requirement Score
+ (Difficulty * Terrain) or a fixed points score. Each requirement
clearly states the scoring method. If it is a requirement where you
choose the amount of set points, you must state in the Claims
thread which amount of points you are taking for the
requirement.
11. Prizes will be awarded to: 2 cachers who complete 10
requirements and have the highest points score; 1 cacher who
completes 10 requirements and has the lowest points score; 1 cacher
who finishes with a score closest to average.
12. In the event of a tie score, the earliest score will be used
as the tiebreaker.
13. I, el_fudgeeo, will administrate the game and my decisions
are final. I reserve the right to provide clarifications to the
rules at any point during the game.
Requirements (pick 10):
1. Kid Cache = 1 Point + (Difficulty * Terrain)
Log any physical cache that displays a "kid friendly" icon on the
cache page to claim this requirement. If the kid friendly icon is
not present when your log is verified then you log will not be
honoured.
2. Wheelchair Accessible Cache = 1 Point + (Difficulty *
Terrain)
Log any cache of any type that displays an wheelchair accessible
icon on the cache page to claim this requirement. If the wheelchair
accessible icon is not present when your log is verified then you
log will not be honoured.
3. In the Night = 1 Point + (Difficulty * Terrain)
Log any physical cache designed for you to find at night or log any
physical cache that you find between midnight and 5:00 AM local
time. Your log must mention the time that you completed the
cache.
4. Series Cache = 1 Point + (Difficulty * Terrain)
Log any cache of any type that is part of a series to claim this
requirement. The series must be clearly stated in either the title
or cache description. It does not have to be a multicache or part
of a series where you need to collect clues from each component of
the series. You only need to collect one cache in the series. The
series needs to be placed by a single cacher.
5. Driveby Cache = 1 Point + (Difficulty * Terrain)
Log any cache of any type where you parked your registered vehicle
(car, truck, motor cycle, humvee, helicopter, etc) less than 10
meters from the cache to claim this requirement. 4WD accessible or
motor cycle parking is acceptable. You are free to approach by
bicycle if that's your style, but you must also be able to park
your registered vehicle less than 10 meters from the cache. Any
logs that indicate that a breach of the law occurred, or could
reasonably infer that a breach of the law occurred will not be
honoured.
6. Cache where Difficulty plus Terrain add to 7 = 2 Points +
(Difficulty * Terrain)
Log any cache of any type where the sum of the terrain and
difficulty add to 7 to claim this requirement. 6 shall not be the
number of counting, nor shall 8. 7 is the number and the number
shall be 7. 9 is right out. For example, a difficulty 3 and terrain
4 will qualify. A difficulty of 3.5 and a terrain of 3.5 also
qualifies. A difficulty of 4 and a terrain of 3 also qualifies. A
difficulty of 3.5 and a terrain of 4 does not qualify as it adds up
to more than 7.
7. 171 or 2635 Cache = 2 Points + (Difficulty * Terrain)
Log any cache of any type where the numbers 171 or 2635 appear in
that order anywhere in the co-ordinates as published to claim this
requirement. The numbers may run across the two sets of
co-ordinates latitude & longitude. Multicache intermediate or
final waypoints, or unknown (mystery or puzzle) caches do not
qualify. The numbers do not need to appear sequentially, but they
need to appear in order. eg. N 52° 11.527 W 106° 38.887 would
quality as the numbers 171 appear in order, even though they are
not sequential.
8. Sunset or Sunrise = 2 Points + (Difficulty * Terrain)
Log any physical cache that you find at sunrise or sunset. Post a
picture of the sunset or sunrise at the cache location.
9. Make a Friend = 2 Points + (Difficulty * Terrain)
Log any physical cache with a fellow geocacher you have never
cached with before. A fellow geocacher is someone who registered on
(visit link) before start of this game. Your log must
indicate that you were caching with your new friend and both of
your logs must be entered on the same day on the same cache. Your
new friend must be someone you have never been on a planned
geocache hunt with before. They do not have to be playing in the
Winter Cache Game.
10. Take a Muggle = 2 Points + (Difficulty * Terrain)
Log any physical cache with a person who has never went geocaching
before. This person must not be registered on (visit
link) before start of this game. Your log must indicate that
you were caching with your muggle friend & contain a picture of
your muggle friend while Geocaching.
11. Unloved Cache = 3 Points + (Difficulty * Terrain)
Log any physical cache that has not been found in the preceding 90
days.
12. Do You DNF? = 3 Points + (Difficulty * Terrain)
Log a find on a physical cache that you have previously logged a
"Didn't find it" on. Your DNF must have been logged and dated
before the start of the game. In your justification, provide the
date of your earlier DNF.
13. Maintain a Cache = 3 Points + (Diffculty * Terrain)
Log any cache of any type that you undertook maintenance on to
claim this requirement. Maintenance can be anything from something
as simple as replenishing the cache contents, wiping the cache out
and restoring it to its former glory to completely replacing a
damaged / broken container. Previous logs must clearly state that
the cache container was in disrepair or that the contents had
diminished over time or that the log needed replacing.
14. Fancy Dress = 5 Points + (Difficulty * Terrain)
Log any physical cache and have a photo taken of you at the cache
where you are dressed in attire which directly relates to the
cache's theme. For example, if the cache describes pirates then eye
patches, a wooden leg, sword and parrot would be appropriate
attire. A wedding cache would have you dressed in a wedding gown.
Be creative. Do not just wear ordinary clothes and try to make the
theme fit. This requirement is all about your creativity. There may
be a special prize for best costume.
15. Dozen Finds Day = 3 or 6 points outright (Your Choice)
Log finds on 12 physical caches within a single calendar date. Not
12 within any random 24 hours but actually 12 within a single date,
beginning at 12am midnight and ending at 11:59pm.
16. EarthCache = 3 or 6 Points outright (Your Choice)
Log or hide an EarthCache. Your log must conform to the
requirements of the Earth Cache and cannot be claimed until the
cache owner has approved your log on the EarthCache. Be careful you
don't run out of game time before the cache owner approves your
log. If you hide an EarthCache this requirement is exempt from the
rule that the date the cache was hidden must be before the start of
the game.
17. Host an Event = 0 or 12 Points outright (your choice)
Host an event. Your event must be listed at (visit
link) and must be published before the game ends (although the
event can take place after the game ends). This requirement is
exempt from the rule that the date must be before the start of the
game. Note that according to cache guidelines, event caches should
be submitted no less than two weeks before the date of the event,
so plan accordingly.
18. Hide a Big One = 0 or 12 Points outright (your choice)
Hide a large physical cache, i.e., a container of at least 5
gallons (20 liters). Your cache must be listed at (visit
link) and must be published before the game ends. This
requirement is exempt from the rule that the date the cache was
published must be before the start of the game.
19. Hide Mystery/Puzzle Caches = 0 or 12 points outright (Your
Choice)
Hide 3 Mystery/Puzzle caches. Your caches must be published on
www.geocaching.com before the end of the game (11:59pm Jan. 29th,
2011). Points cannot be claimed until the caches are published. Be
careful you don't run out of game time before the cache reviewer
publishes your caches. Your hides for this requirement are exempt
from the rule that the date the cache was hidden must be before the
start of the game.
20. Hide Traditional Winter Friendly Caches = 0 or 12 points
outright (Your Choice)
Hide 5 Traditional caches that are easily findable in the snow.
Your caches must be published on www.geocaching.com before the end
of the game (11:59pm Jan. 29th, 2011). Points cannot be claimed
until the caches are published. Be careful you don't run out of
game time before the cache reviewer publishes your caches. Your
hides for this requirement are exempt from the rule that the date
the cache was hidden must be before the start of the game.
21. Let's Go Streaking (not that!)
Earn a point for each consecutive day you go caching during the
game. You may find more than a single cache each day. You can count
any string of 1 or more days for this one. These finds may be also
be claimed as part of another requirement if necessary.
22. A Blast From the Past = 0 or 10 points outright (Your
Choice)
Find a cache on its 10 year Anniversary. For example, find the
Oldest Saskatchewan Cache (GC14F, Sask-cache-one) on its 10 year
Anniversary of January 7 2011!
