It can be recreated and sent back out at the owners discretion any time from the 21st day on. It will also be given credit for 1 non-home state [as required for score in 1.c]. If the original TB resumes travel, the owner is responsible for contacting the judge [WitzAbout] to have subsequent logs from the original TB discounted. Any attempts to have both scored can lead to disqualification.

|
| Notes
|
| The race will finish at the first COSGEO/Colorado South Event occurring after August 5th, 2007
| | Scoring for the TBs will close 3 days before the event (ex: if the event is September 6th, final scoring will be on actions posted by September 3rd)
| | Ruling of the judge is final - false dating of cache movements or false cache logging for score are grounds for disqualification
(a cache entry that is logged a couple of days later is ok, more than 2 movements logged more than a day late are likely to be excluded and will be judged individually)
| | Awards for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place will be given at the event, need not be present to win, but must be active on geocaching.com and reply to contacts within a reasonable time frame
| | TB-ID must be emailed to WitzAbout within 2 weeks of initial event on 2/25/2007 – any TBs handed off for NC are already tracked, and do not need to be emailed.
| | TB must have Race Buddy Tag attached with TB Tag to participate (contact WitzAbout with any questions)
| | The TBs are watchlisted by the Judge [WitzAbout], so normal log entries will be tracked. Scoring will occur approximately once a week.
|
| | * | Physical Cache: A Standard Cache or Multicache container that has a fixed physical location. Events, & Webcams will not count. Puzzles may be counted or not at the judges discretion (puzzles that appear to be very near the final based on description are more likely to be counted)
| | ** | Must stay in the Event cache through the Event date
