Some FAQ

I've been asked a few questions and will try to answer them here:

1. Do we have to use the CPE prefix as spoken to in first blog?

No you don’t. Thanks to Anton from DamhuisClan a programme has been written to assist with the TB tracking and scoring. Before received the programme, I was going to track everything manual and therefore having the prefix I believed it would have been easier to track. So bottom line you do not need the Prefix.

2. Can I activate my TB?

Please do. The idea is to have your TB Races activated by Friday 17^th January and placed virtually in GC4NNRA - Port Elizabeth Airport TB Hotel. So that after the GC4W93W - "Starting Line" Event we can then physically drop the TB’s in the GC4NNRA - Port Elizabeth Airport TB Hotel.

3. What must I type into the TB Description/Mission?

You may type anything you wish. You can say that you in the race, you can describe the race points system or say anything you want. I will have Race Tags ready to put on the Race TB’s explaining the rules in General and have the score listed. This will make any other cacher finding your Race TB aware of the TB Race and how they can help you achieve points.

4. What is the Final Point System?

Caching Port Elizabeth TB Race Points
Every 100 Km travelled	1

There will be a few surprises announced along the way in lieu of Bonus Points. These Bonus Points will be announced during the course of the Race.

5. Do I have to attend the GC4W93W - "Starting Line" Event?

No you don’t but your Race TB has to, as this is the official start of the Race. If you are unable to attend the Event, please make sure that your Race TB is collected by someone who is attending the Event. You can even arrange that I, Bremar Josrut, have your Race TB before this event.
