I did not compete. My son, TollyBrew, did for the second year and took second place for the second time. He talked it up so much is why I went down this year. In the morning they have the individual competition. Waypoints, topomaps and punch cards are given to the competitors and they are released at 8:00 AM. The non-competitors are then given the waypoints, topos and punch cards and released at 9:00 AM. This is for the first 30 freshly released waypoints. In the afternoon they do the same thing for the team competition. 1:00 PM for competitors and 2:00 PM for everyone else all going for 30 additional new permanent caches.
About the only downside to this is that with so many folks going for a limited number of caches you can almost follow the bodies and not use your GPS.
