There was some “let’s see who can get all 50 first” competition the first few years. There may still be some in the future. But it’s not done as part of the Mega Event agenda.
If you want to compete with someone on a personal basis at the WBCB, fine by me. I’ll get out of the way if I see you coming!
We almost filled our card the first 2 years. Even won $250 the first year without filling it. We enjoy meeting the out-of-state cache teams that come to explore Wisconsin and the Kettle Moraine area.
As far as the FTF race, I actually got 5 last year, on the way to WB. I hadn’t registered yet, and was surprised to get those on Friday afternoon.
I used to race for FTFS. Now, if it fits in to my schedule, and no one else got there ahead of me, I’ll log the FTF. I’d rather see the area by daylight, and hope the CO picked a nice spot to stop and enjoy the area.
By the way… the WBCB is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and is not a WGA Event. We have a presence there and are happy to support it. The Sunday Pancake Breakfast IS a WGA sponsored event. You have our permission to race for the first pancake! 8)
