Just a question about the Shooting requirement. When I look up my home coordinates, the closest unfound cache to my home is a puzzle cache. I have now figured out the solution to this puzzle and the GZ is not the closest unfound cache to my home. Which cache counts in this situation?

Quick question regarding 17: Marathon

If I supply a medical certificate, can I do my marathon on different dates? I will be in hospital for a couple of days in the middle of the real games..... I mean I know I can miss out on that event, but I just thought I'd ask.....

More normal question about 12: Football
Is pole dancing a sport for this event?

Which ever you feel is most appropriate.

You don't need to provide a certificate. I'll trust you. You have an exemption.
Pole dancing? Sure, why not. I'd watch it :-)

It does beg the question of where is the pole dancing cache? :mrgreen:

My turn [-o<

So for Tennis:

Do Co-ords for a puzzle ending in .000 and .000 meet the requirements? (not the solved co-ords obviously) :-k

23: Tennis
Find and log a geocache that has any two of the following number combinations in the listed cache waypoint in order to claim this requirement. 00, 15, 30, 40. The number combinations can appear anywhere in either the latitude or longitude but must appear as consecutive numbers.
Any two is the requirement.
You have met only 1 (being 00).

Is there a spot on the game page where we attach our photos as proof of various requirements? I know you can attach them to the cache page with your log but it would be fun to see everyone's photos for the games? (but maybe that's too much space to store?)

You can't attach them at my end.
Please just attach them to the log.

My closest to home by posted coordinates was a puzzle cache. The yesterday somone published a new cache even closer to home (both posted coords and GZ). Fortunately it is also a mystery/micro so it hasnt messed up my strategy, but I think I'd better go find it before someone else gazumps me!

Check the rules of the game:
Geocaches for the game must be published before 00:00:01 1 July 2012 Australian Eastern Time (AEST)

Are you allowed to do the Decathlon and the Heptathlon on the same day, making a total of 17 caches, plus other caches for different requirements?
