TB RACE 2014 Earning points

Earning Points


1. Points for caches visited will only be awarded once for a cache. Once a bug visits a cache, any subsequent visits to that cache will not count for points. Only one cache will be counted per cacher.

2. Points for distance is calculated by a programme running separately from Geocaching.com. Therefore the calculation may not be 100% the same as the TB Page.

3. Points for crossing provincial lines will be based on a straight line model, using the travel bug’s map. No matter how a cacher travels as they carry the travel bug, a straight line between cache A and cache B will be used to determine which provincial borders are crossed and how many times they are crossed.

4. Points for posting pictures will only be awarded once per photo per cacher. One cacher posting multiple pictures will not gain additional points, though it is encouraged if the poster desires to help document the travels. As there is no way to determine if a photo has been uploaded onto Geocaching.com, this will be up to the TB owner to email me the link of the photo. Only once I've confirmed the link will point be awarded. No email = no points!!!!

5. If a travel bug visits a cache that has either a difficulty or terrain rating of 2.5 or higher, it will earn points for D/T.

6.Points for attendance at an event is only awarded once per event.

7. If a travel bug attends a CITO event, it will earn a higher point than a Event. The item will only receive points for one race type per cacher. In other words, attending a CITO event does not gain points for both the Event goal and the CITO goal. Only the CITO goal will be counted (the same applies to MEGA and CITO).

8. If a travel bug attends a MEGA event, it will earn points at a higher amount. The item will only receive points for one race type per cacher. In other words, attending a MEGA event does not gain points for both the Event goal and the MEGA goal. Only the MEGA goal will be counted (the same applies to MEGA and CITO).
