Bingo! An alleycat race idea
Thanks to this blog post I found, I understand a little better how the "Bingo!" style of alleycats work.
You have a fairly standard bingo card (I assume) and a manifest. It could just be front and back like the Cycat race. At each stop there is a set of three numbers written in three different colors of chaulk. If you have any of the numbers on your card write the color in the space. When you get a "Bingo!" return to the designated finish area and claim your prize. I'm sure you can modify the rules to include "four corners," multiple lines and "blackout."
This could be a good race to encourage new riders to participate in the alleycat experience.
Update: I didn't understand what the point of the different colored chaulk was, until I was running a race in my mind with out the colors and thought what's to stop me from just riding around to a couple of stops, then mark off the rest of a card to get a bingo and return to the start? Ah... The colored numbers... The riders won't know what color the numbers are printed so they need to get it right. That's why I steal borrow alleycat ideas from others.
