The GEOregon 2012 “Favorites” Cache Contest.
The GEOregon 2012 “Favorites” Cache Contest
Another contest created by and sponsored by ORNITH (Bob)...
1. This Contest is open to GEOregon Members and GEOregon Members ONLY. Consider it one of your Member BENEFITS!!
2. The Contest runs from July 22nd, 2012 to the next GEOregon Club Meeting after July 22nd, 2013. Only Caches set between those dates are eligible for the Prizes.
3. Since I hate MICROS, this Contest is to prove how good MICRO Caches can be. Only MICRO Caches will be considered for the awarding of Prizes.
4. There will be 3 (three) Prizes one of $50, another of $30 and one more of $20. All Prizes WILL be awarded based on the descending order of ‘ENTERED’ (see definition of ENTERED in Rule #7) MICROS that receive the most Favorites in the Contest time period. If there is only one qualifying MICRO Cache that Cache Owner claims all $100!!
5. Multiple Entries are permitted and solicited!!
6. As last year’s Contest was based on “Favorites” that a Cache receives, so shall this year’s Contest. The three Micro Caches that receive the most Favorites during the contest period will be declared Winners of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Prizes.
7. For record keeping purposes, each Micro that is to be considered for a Prize must be ENTERED. ENTERED means that you must E-mail ORNITH with the Name and GC Number for that Cache. The only purpose for this is to establish a Watch List of the Entries so that determination of the Winners can be made more easily. Caches not ENTERED will be ineligible for consideration in this Contest.
8. A ‘Twist’!! In discussing this Contest with both Honored Geocachers and assorted Scalliwags, a question was raised. “How do you score multiple MICROS entered by a single Cache Owner that wants to combine the Favorites received for their multiple entries?” Now, that is a good Question!! Better to get it resolved now rather than later, for sure. ANSWER: Multiple MICROS that constitute a THEME seems like a great idea and worthy of significant reward. Creativity is encouraged!! They must be entered as a THEME, the THEME identified when they are ENTERED. Not to exceed 7 MICROS in the THEME and all of the included MICROS must be consistent with the THEME. SORRY, a Cache Run or Power Trail (Hey! That is a great idea for next year’s Contest!?!?) is not considered a THEME for the purpose of this Contest. An example of a THEME is the Halloween group set in Milwaukie by Nessker -- go and ask her, OK? Determination of whether a series of Caches constitutes a THEME will be at the discretion of ORNITH and/or GEOregon. If there is a difference of opinion, GEOregon's opinion carries the day!
