Hi, I am Bobius Sharpy and I am part of the GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo Race, please keep me moving and safe.

YES, my head IS supposed to BOBBLE... lol

Game Period: 01-Dec-2015 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2016 23:59:59 AEST

GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo is a game where geocaching garden gnomes (known as GeGnomes) will race around the world accumulating finds, moves and distance in order for their owner to be crowned GeGnomic King or Queen.

The game requires you to hide a moving geocache on Geocaching Australia on the 1st of December 2015 and then you can sit back and watch as your GeGnome travels Australia and the world. You can also help other GeGnomes by finding and moving them along at Geocaching Australia.

RULES / ETTIQUITE

• Caches must be found and hidden by the same geocacher (i.e. no mailing the GeGnome to another geocacher to hide).
• There is no limit to the number of times a geocacher can find / move the GeGnome provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between.
• If a geocacher moves your GeGnome overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the GeGnome mover may move your GeGnome back to the country of origin without breaking the "2 moves" rule.
• There is no limit to the distance other geocachers can move the GeGnome.
• Avoid rehiding a GeGnome far from active geocachers territory as it basically exits the gnome from the race
• When rehiding a GeGnome get good co-ordinates. Seriously. Don't dump and run. Get co-ords as you would a permanent GeGnome.
• When making your log against a GeGnome include a good hint so the finder can identify whether it's been moved, muggled or just a bad GPS day.
• This is a challenge of moving GeGnomes along, not trying to make them impossible to find, so help you fellow players out by making the task enjoyable
• Please avoid hiding movable caches near existing Groundspeak or Geocaching Australia geocaches. At Groundspeak geocaches they go missing as rubbish or taken as trades. At Geocaching Australia geocaches the other geocache ends up travelling as well which it's not supposed to. So please find a location away from any existing geocaches (except of course other movable geocaches) to keep the GeGnomes in play for as long as possible.
• Do not leave GeGnomes at the site of the Chrome Gnome along Melbourne’s Peninsula Link freeway. VicRoads frequently attend and destroy gnomes which are left at this location.

Prizes

• GeGnome with the most moves in total (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
• GeGnome with the most moves > 0 km* and < 1 km (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
• GeGnome with the most moves >= 1 km* (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
• GeGnome with the most moves >= 10 km* (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
• GeGnome with the most moves >= 100 km* (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
• GeGnome with the most moves >= 1,000 km* (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
• GeGnome that has the highest cumulative distance moved (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
• GeGnome that has the single highest distance moved (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
• Other winners will be announced as the countdown continues

* Distances will only apply once. i.e. If a GeGnome moves by 150 km it will count in the > 100 km category only and will not count in the > 10 km and > 1 km categories.
