WELCOME TO HOME RUN DERBY 2015. EVERY SATURDAY MORNING A NEW CACHE WILL BE RELEASED. AFTER IT'S PUBLISHED YOU WILL HAVE ROUGHLY A WEEK TO FIND IT AND SELECT A SLUGGER TO REPRESENT YOU IN THAT WEEK’S EDITION OF THE HOME RUN DERBY. SELECT ONE PLAYER AND INCLUDE HIS NAME IN YOUR LOG. THE NUMBER OF HOME RUNS HE HITS THE FOLLOWING WEEK IS YOUR SCORE (DON'T WORRY, WE WILL HANDLE ALL THE SCORING). AFTER SIX WEEKS THE STANDINGS WILL RESET AND WE WILL START ANOTHER SIX WEEK SESSION. AT THE END OF THAT THE CHAMPION OF ROUND ONE WILL SQUARE OFF AGAINST THE CHAMPION OF ROUND TWO FOR A GEOCACHING WORLD SERIES!
THE "CATCH" IS EVERY PLAYER MUST BE UNIQUE, SO FTF HAS CHOICE OF ANY PLAYER, SECOND TO FIND WILL HAVE SECOND PICK AND SO ON. THE CACHE HIDERS WILL ALSO BE PLAYING SO THE CACHE OWNER WILL SELECT FIFTH EACH WEEK.
THIS IS WEEK 6 OF THE SERIES. ALL SCORING WILL TAKE PLACE MAY 18-24. IT IS THE FINAL WEEK OF THE FIRST HALF. TIME TO MAKE THAT LAST INNING SURGE IN THE STANDINGS! PARTICIPATION IN THE DERBY IS STRICTLY OPTIONAL SO FEEL FREE TO FIND THE CACHE AND WATCH ALL THE ACTION FROM THE GRANDSTAND. GAME ON!
THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF OUR NATIONAL PASTTIME FANS HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT WAYS TO SEE THE GAME LIVE FOR FREE, FROM CLIMBING TREES NEAR THE PARK TO SITTING ON THE ROOF OF THE BUILDINGS IN BACK OF WRIGLEY FIELD. IF YOU WALK A FEW FEET FROM GZ HERE YOU WILL ALSO HAVE A FREE VIEW OF THE NEW ALGA NORTE PARK IN CARLSBAD, 32 ACRES FEATURING THREE BALL FIELDS, AN AQUATIC CENTER, A SKATE PARK, A GIANT PLAYGROUND, AND MUCH MORE. NO NEED TO HOOF IT FROM THE PARK FOR THE CACHE THOUGH. YOU CAN PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ABOUT 40 FEET WEST FROM GZ. BYOP AND GOOD LUCK!
