Hello:

I'm putting on an adventure race in the spring that will have check
points similar to those in alley cat races. My question is what are
some effective ways of having un-personed check points?

So far I've seen:

* ticket-punch cabled to fixed object (like a light post)
* misc. trinkets at ea check point
* RFID cards (uh, a little beyond my budget)
* competitor takes photo of checkpoint

These all have pros/cons. Looking for both pros/cons/inappropriate
comments/as well as some totally new ideas.

Also, if you know of other/better places to ask this question let me
know too.

- Something at checkpoint indicates directions to
the next checkpoint.
- They have to record something they see at the checkpoint
(street address, words printed on a sign, etc)
- Checkpoint at a pay phone has partial instructions
for number they have to call for directions to next
checkpoint

I've heard the payphone option works well. Just make sure that the
number you give them to call will pick up the incoming number and have
them leave a message. We had one with a recorded message giving them
the next clue.
