License and Registration

Treasure Hunt 007: From Brainerd With Love will be held Wednesday, July 11, 2007. Because of specifics in the format of the treasure hunt, we are requiring full participation from the teams, and that the teams are set well before the hunt begins. For this reason, we have devised the following registration procedure.

A $7.00 nonrefundable entrance fee is required from each participant before Wednesday, June 20. We will only be able to admit the first 20 to sign up, so make sure you do so ASAP.

Also, if you will for sure be able to bring a car for your team that day, please notify us. This information will come in handy when we're organizing teams.

TH007: From Brainerd With Love

Jason and I are looking to do our treasure hunt in late June. We are looking for a list of people who would be interested and what days in late June would work the best. This will be a hunt that will require full participation from players, so people must be able to get work off to sign up.

By full participation we mean that participants must participate for the entire duration of the treasure hunt. We can't have people come late/leave early for any reason.

Ok Max, more elaboration: full participation entails that all people who sign up for the treasure hunt arrive at the beginning of the treasure hunt and continue through the duration of the hunt until the end. This is in the way of saying that those people who have work must schedule their work such that either a) their working does not interfere with the treasure hunt b) they get work off. The same is true of family events and whatnot.

The reason for this is that the way we are setting our treasure hunt up, teams must begin and remain full throughout the duration of the hunt. Many facets, including but not limited to head to head competitions, require even teams that can only be guarenteed by "full participation" by everyone who chooses to sign up for this hunt. Thus, when we set a final date and post our sign up, we will be requiring that participants pay their fee at that time and not the day of the hunt. We will be posting the date of the treasure hunt at least a month in advance, so there will be no excuse for those who do not get work off.

Additionally, there will be certain individuals who will be required to extend their participation in this hunt outside the time and date of the actual hunt. This will be explained at a later date and those individuals who we select for these positions will be given their extra duties/time committments and asked whether they are willing to accept these positions.

I honestly have no idea how I can disambiguate this any further. If you want to play, you have to do the whole hunt. It is as simple as that.
