Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  You have to solve the puzzle to find out where it is.


Sportsmanship is an aspiration or ethos that a sport or activity will be enjoyed for its own sake, with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respec, and a sense of fellowship with one's competitors. A sore loser refers to one who does not take defeat well, whereas a good sport means being a "good winner" as well as being a "good loser".

Sportsmanship can be conceptualized as an enduring and relatively stable characteristic or disposition such that individuals differ in the way they are generally expected to behave in sport situations. In general, sportsmanship refers to virtues such as fairness, self-control, courage, and persistence, and has been associated with interpersonal concepts of treating others and being treated fairly, maintaining self-control if dealing with others, and respect for both authority and opponents.Sportsmanship is also looked at as being the way one reacts to a sport/game.

A competitor who exhibits poor sportsmanship after losing a game or contest is often called a "sore loser" (those who show poor sportsmanship after winning are typically called "bad winners"). Sore loser behavior includes blaming others for the loss, not accepting responsibility for personal actions that contributed to the defeat, reacting to the loss in an immature or improper fashion, making excuses for the defeat, and citing unfavorable conditions or other petty issues as reasons for the defeat. A bad winner acts in a shallow fashion after his or her victory, such as by gloating about his or her win, rubbing the win in the face(s) of the opponent(s), and lowering the opponent(s)'s self-esteem by constantly reminding the opponent(s) of "poor" performance in comparison (even if the opponent(s) competed well).

Playing sports, this is the first things that a good coach will teach their players.  Not what their blocking assignment is on a give right or option left, what certain signals are, how to keep score,  but the basic rules of the game and sportsmanship.  The coach is the source of the athletes conduct.  Seeing some of the professional athletes today (and coaches).  I am sure we can think of at least one recent case of poor sportsmanship and fair play on a professional level. I think they must have missed the first two or more practices when they started playing. You can also relate this to caching. You get cachers going out and destroying an area looking for a cache and not bothering to take the few seconds or minute to rehide the cache container as the hider intended. Thinking that their idea is better or they are too lazy/in a hurry to give the next cacher the same intended hunt. But anyways..........

Happy caching!!!!!!
