Disc-Cache

DC is a game I created back in January of 2006 combining the aspects GeoCaching and DiscGolf. A few of my friends got together to play, but we had a hard time because only one of us had a GPS unit (me). There was a lot of running back and forth between players with the GPS unit. Eventually we got tired of trekking through the snow (Michigan winter) towards each other and we ended up just taking turns tossing the disc almost like a scramble.

We've played a few dozen times since and I require that each player brings their own GPS unit now. The game is much more fun now. I have never shared this online, though I have been meaning to. I have known about geocaching for years and disc golf even longer. I have recently gotten more motivated to share this game with my friends, so here it is...

Official Title: Disc-Cashe (DC)
Official Objective: Throw a disc to a designated coordinate position (a designated object) in as few of throws as possible. The player with the least amount of throws is the winner.
Official Rules:

1. 19 GPS coordinate are laid out or plotted using immovable or permanent landmarks (trees, statues, buildings, signs, etc.) as the position of the coordinates by the creator of the course prior to the start of the round.
2. The first coordinate must be made available to the players prior to the start of the round so they can input the data into their GPS units or plot it on their maps.
3. The coordinates can be in any format the course creator desires as long as he/she shares that information with all the players.
4. Coordinates can be derived using GPS units, land surveying equipment, GIS software, etc. as long as it is accurate.
5. The first coordinate will be designated as the course starting point.
6. Each player must have their own GPS unit (or more traditional method such as a topo map and a compass) to find the direction they need for their next throw.
7. Each player must have their own disc or set of discs.
8. To complete a target, the player must hit the target with their disc. Find the Cashe, jot down the new targets coordinate, replace the Cashe as found, and resume play.
   
9. The start of each next target is the location of the current target with the exception of the first target.
10. The player with the fewest throws overall wins.
11. The minimum score possible is 18. There is no maximum.
12. Each player must record their own score.
13. Any disagreement to a player's score will result in each player involved having to buy a drink of buyer's choice for each player involved in the dispute. The player's score will stand as is.
14. There are no out-of-bounds.
15. Etiquette will be applied as per traditional golf and disc golf rules and traditions.

I hope you all enjoy my new game. I will post my very first course soon on Eastern Michigan University's campus. Good luck!
