FOOSMAN (RED)

TO BATTLE ARCH ENEMY FOOSMAN (BLUE) IN THE GEOCACHING WORLD CUP! BOTH WILL HAVE SIMILAR GOALS WORTH POINTS IN A BEST OF FIVE SERIES FORMAT.

FOOSMAN (RED) AND (BLUE) WERE RELEASED ON THE SAME DAY (IN PENNSYLVANIA)WITH THE SAME MISSION. THESE TWO RETIRED PREMIUM FOOSBALL PLAYERS STILL HAVE A LOT OF LIFE IN THEM. GAME 1: MOVES - RED WINS 10 - 6. GAME 2: EVERY 200 MILES WILL BE WORTH A POINT. RED WINS 10 -2.

IN THE EVENT OF A 2-2 TIE IN GAMES, GAME 5 WILL BE DECIDED BY A PANEL OF INDEPENDENT JUDGES WITH THE SOLE CRITERIA BEING THE ADVENTURES ENCOUNTERED ON THE JOURNEY! RED WINS!

SCORING UPDATES WILL BE ADDED TO THIS PAGE AS THEY OCCUR!


FIRST SCORING UPDATE! MAP LADY MOVED FOOSMAN RED, SO RED LEADS GAME ONE, 1-0. (ALSO THEY LEAD GAME TWO WHICH IS BASED ON MILEAGE)

SECOND SCORING UPDATE! DREKKER MOVED FOOSMAN RED, BUT KENTUCKY BLUE BIRD MOVED FOOSMAN BLUE, SO THE GAME ONE SCORE STANDS AT 2-1 RED. HOWEVER, FOOSMAN BLUE MOVED TO KENTUCKY! OR 470 MILES! WHICH PUTS BLUE UP 2-0 IN GAME 2. STAY TUNED SPORTS FANS!

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL! RED SCORES AGAIN, AS WBFD130 MOVED FOOSMAN RED. GAME ONE STANDS AT 3-1 RED, GAME 2 IS STILL 2-0 BLUE AS RED ONLY HAS 55.64 MILES.

IN THE BLEAK MID-WINTER, THE FOOSMEN ACTIVITY HAS BEEN NEXT TO NOTHING, BUT HOOFTY BROKE THE BLAHS BY MOVING FOOSMAN RED! GAME ONE IS NOW 4-1 RED. GAME TWO IS STILL 2-0 BLUE. RED IS APPROACHING 100 MILES. BLUE, IN KENTUCKY HAD IT'S CACHE ARCHIVED. THANKS TO MAPLADY FOR NOTIFYING ME, AS I MISSED THAT ANNOUNCEMENT. I'VE EMAILED THE OWNERS AND ASKED THEM TO RESCUE FOOSMAN BLUE, AS HE'S IN AN INTENSE COMPETITION. SUCH ARE THE DANGERS OF A GEOCACHING WORLD CUP!

BLUE HAS NOT ONLY BEEN RESCUED, BUT WELL RESTED, BLUE IS BACK WITH A VENGENCE! PADDY YENAR RESCUED BLUE, AND MOVED HIM TO SHILLITO DISC GOLF CHALLENGE ( I NOW WANT TO GO THERE!), LIL BEARS RETRIEVED HIM PROMPTLY AND MOVED HIM TO LEXINGTON'S HERITAGE. AGAIN, KONEKO ACTED PROMPTLY AND MOVED BLUE TO WOODWARD HEIGHTS, AND SKREE PROMPTLY MOVED HIME TO BLUE HOLE.

SO, WHEN THE DUST SETTLED FROM ALL OF THOSE MOVES, GAME ONE NOW STANDS AT BLUE 5 - RED 4! GAME TWO IS STILL 2-0 BLUE. THANKS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED SO FAR, THIS IS WORKING OUT WONDERFULLY. BLUE IS IN KENTUCKY, AND WILDCAT FANS ARE TAKING GOOD CARE OF HIM. RED IS IN THE HANDS OF PSUPAUL, AND HOPEFULLY NOT BURIED BY THE 2 FEET OF RECENT SNOW!

WHAT A GAME! PSU PAUL PLACED FOOSMAN RED IN W-B FIRE,, AND HE WAS IMMEDIATELY PICKED UP BY IMLOST. FOOSMAN BLUE WAS PLACED BY DLIMING IN ANIMALS ARE LOOSE CACHE, AND IMMEDIATELY PICKED UP BY KIMBYJ! GAME ONE STANDS AT BLUE 6 - RED 5! IN GAME TWO ACTION, BLUE IS STILL LEADING 2-0, BUT BLUE IS ON THE VERGE OF SCORING AGAIN.

THANKS TO TWO QUICK MOVES, RED HAS RETAKEN THE LEAD IN GAME ONE! PSUPAUL PLACED HIM IN W-B FIRE WHERE IMLOST PICKED HIM UP AND MOVED HIM TO WHISPERING PINES. MT. DAVE PICKED HIM UP QUICKLY AND MOVED HIM TO ESTATE GARDEN TOURS. GAME ONE STANDS: RED 7 - BLUE 6!

SCORING IN BUNCHES! RED MOVED QUICKLY AND COVERED SOME DISTANCE! OL' BLUES GUY MOVED RED FROM ESTATE GARDEN TO OLD TIMERS, WHERE PSU PAUL PICKED HIM UP. IN A SWIFT, POSSIBLY CONTROVERSIAL MOVE, RED TRAVEL FED EX, AND WAS PLACED BY GREENHOUSE DAVE IN MONKEY'S HIDEOUT IN MICHIGAN! YES, FOOSMAN RED IS IN MICHIGAN. GAME ONE: RED 9 - BLUE 6. AND GAME TWO IS NOW TIED AT TWO.

GAME THREE BELONGS TO RED! FOOSMAN RED HAS HAD HIS PICTURE POSTED IN FRONT OF FOOSBALL HEADQUARTERS IN BAY CITY! THE SCORING HASN'T CHANGED IN GAMES ONE AND TWO, BUT IN THE SERIES RED NOW LEADS 1 GAME TO NONE.

RED TAKES GAME ONE! AND NOW LEADS IN THE SERIES 2 GAMES TO NONE, WITH A COMMANDING LEAD IN GAME 2. RED HAS LOGGED 1,661.46 MILES TO TAKE AN 8-2 LEAD IN GAME 2. DOCTORSLIME PICKED UP FOOSMAN RED AND TOOK HIM TO FOOSBALL HEADQUARTERS, AND THEN TOOK HIM TO COLORADO! THE RETURN TRIP WILL PUT RED OVER THE TOP IN GAME TWO AND IN ALL REALITY WIN THE SERIES 3 GAMES TO NONE. BUT, I HAVE IT ON GOOD AUTHORITY THAT A 3-0 SWEEP IS NOT ENOUGH FOR THIS RED TEAM, THEY WANT GAME FOUR AS WELL! STAY TUNED! REMEMBER WHAT YOGI SAID, IT AINT OVER, TILL IT'S OVER!

IT'S OVER! FOOSMAN RED HAS RETURNED TO JOSH'S BOAT HOUSE, AND WITH THE AMAZING JOURNEY LOGGED, HAS BEEN AWARDED GAME 5 FOR A 5-0 SWEEP OVER FOOSMAN BLUE IN THE GEOCACHING WORLD CUP! WE'LL SEE HOW MUCH PRIDE THE BLUE TEAM HAS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT HE COMPLETES HIS JOURNEY, OR JUST HEADS FOR HOME. IN THE MEANTIME, WE'LL BEGIN TO COOK UP ADVENTURE #2 FOR OUR FOOSMEN. CONGRATULATION RED TEAM ON THE VICTORY. I'LL BE IN CONTACT WITH YOU REGARDING YOUR REWARD.
