Can you tell me how the points will be summed up for the triathlon challenge. Will all three cache points be added together or will the points just come from which cache GC you actually use to make the claim?

You list all 3 for the triathlon in the justification but choose only one GA/GC code to be the one that counts for points. So if you want lots of points use the puzzle and if you want few points use a traditional micro ;)

Can anyone answer my question please? If I provide final coords in the justification for a multi or mystery does this satisfy the claim?

we can only check the listed co-ords, but go with the sprite of the challenge!! If in doubt, attache photos.

This game challenges you to maximise the number of requirements you claim and to reach but not exceed a target of 1,000 points. The higher your points the higher your position on the ladder. The more claims you make the higher your position within the same points totals. Ladder positions will be calculated on points (high to low), then claims (high to low) and prizes will be awarded accordingly.

My sincere apologies for the confusion. I hope that no-ones strategy has been adversely impacted. If you feel that you have been affected by this correction, please send me a PM.
You had me freaked out then. But all is good I just read this post now.

OK my question of the day. The relay. I don't know if the 3 registered geocachers are required to also have not found the cache or if they can just be along for my finding of the cache. I have only met 1 geocacher so far. I asked for help on Facebook. But so many of them have just about found everything local to me. They have found THOUSANDS!!!!?

Sorry, but yes, the others members of your 'relay team' must also find the cache

So, there appears to be a tie for first place at the moment. Last time there was some 3rd criteria that people with equal points/claims were separated by - does that still exist?

And in the case of a tie for 1st place I would have thought there should be no 2nd place?

Geez, you're a tough bloke :lol: Ties are ties and you get the same prize. This is not quite the Olympics in that if you get 3 tied for 1st place there is no 2nd or 3rd. This a friendly game for fun, so you get tied for 1st and 2nd is still available. The ladder was constructed around being as friendly as we could and so if you get tied with someone you can share the podium.
