Travel Bug contests?

[+geek squad]

Would it be possible (or even a good idea) to have a contest between all existing TBs? Maybe the Geocaching website could post something that shows which TBs have traveled the longest distance, or have the most users watching them (popularity!).

 

Any opinions?

Seems like it would be a little unfair to us newbies who just put ours out there and a tactical nightmare to filter out when they started. But if someone has any cool ideas that would be fun... I know our association in PA SEPAG.US is starting one in January with some tight but good rules for a brand new TB race...should be good.

I agree that newbies would have trouble getting their "scores" up. I myself have just released a TB about a month ago, and it has only traveled nine miles. I'm thinking that it would be fun to have a sort of "wall of TB fame." It would be a place where geocachers could see the TBs that have traveled the farthest distance. There might only be 100 TB listed, or mabey even 10,000 TB listed.

 

The point that I am trying to make is that there would be no end to the contest. You could view the standings just like you can view caches.

show the travel bugs that have traveled the most in a year or maybe even a month

I am currently working on a web site where you can create races for travel bugs.

 

OK, so it is not ALL TB's, but it could be fun for new races starting. You only get credit for miles after the race starts.
