Cache League

Staying on the topic of "Organized Geocaching"

 

I wanted to let everyone know that teams are now forming for a competitive geocaching league. There are awards in different categories for teams and individuals.

 

You can check it out at www.cacheleague.com.

I am still undecided on this. I looked at the website and it seems like a good idea, but there are just too many opportunites for abuse of the rules as they are posted. My main concerns are, in no particular order,

The fact that there is money (over $100 per person) involved

Very little accountability state to state

What are the qualifications for "officials"?

Don't get me wrong, I think it would be great to have some kind of organized competition. I wish I could suggest something, but I have never really given it any serious thought until I read your post. I hope the league goes well and I hope that they do not have any major problems. I hope they work out the bugs quickley. If they are still active in a couple seasons I will give it a shot. Best of luck folks!

It's not $100 per person it's $150 per team. These costs cover the awards and prizes as well as fund future leagues, teams events, costs, etc.

Yes you are right, it is $150 per team, I misread the section. However, I still feel that charging any kind of fee the first year for an untested system is unwise. Why not ask for a donation if money for upkeep is needed. Offer the "Bragging Rights" as the prize?

We felt that most players would rather have something tangible rather than just bragging rights. For a team of 10 it comes out to $15 a person. That's not much more than lunch and gas money for a day of geocaching.
