+SpongeRob Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment
+Clan_Turtle Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 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! Clan_Turtle Quote Link to comment
+SpongeRob Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment
+Clan_Turtle Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 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? Quote Link to comment
+SpongeRob Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment
