Find at least seven Waymarks in close proximity of a given point of your choosing, each being in a different department. You can use the same object more than once, but it must be waymarked under another department to be reused. You can use one of your Waymarks you previously found. Visits to somebody else's Waymark can not be considered as one of your finds. However, you can find another category for a previously waymarked object. Do not reuse any Waymark used in a prior Lucky 7.
Many people already crosslist their finds under different categories, so we are not really creating a bunch of extra Waymarks, simply finding a grouping in one area. In effect, only one more is being created.
Definitions
Center point This is an arbitrary location of your choosing, used to measure the distance to all of the Waymarks you are submitting or listing. There may be Waymark there, but there does not have to be; it is simply an anchor point. The coordinates for the center point will be those you use when you submit or record your Lucky 7.
Departments These are the various groups under which the categories are organized. Departments are not categories, so don't confuse the two terms. There are 15 Departments that Waymarking has created. Think of them as drawers where you would look for related categories and their descriptions. You can only use each department once as part of your Lucky 7. You can find another category in a different department for the same item.
Tally The total number of departments, that you are including with your Lucky 7 submission. If all are within a tenth of a mile radius, then you can multiply the number of departments used by two. Do not count the center point unless it is a real waymark. In this case, if I submit seven within a tenth of a mile, my tally would be 14. This was done to let others who live in less concentrated areas the chance to play too. I am sure there will be some heated competition to see who can get the highest score. And no, you cannot use both a half mile and a tenth mile radius, choose only one of these options.
Target an object to be waymarked.
Before you submit your Lucky 7, make sure all of your chosen waymarks have first been approved.
Here are the various departments and the numbers you will use to submit for the various departments chosen.
1. Animals
2. Buildings
3. Business
4. Culture
5. Entertainment
6. History
7. Measurement Standards
8. Monuments
9. Nature
10. Oddities
11. Recreation
12. Signs
13. Structures
14. Technology
15. Waymarking Multifarious
When you record your waymarks, give the department number followed by the waymark category name and then the waymark code. So if I am claiming my Dixie Chili find as one of my seven, I would list it as:
6-Dixie Highway-WM20ZJ
since it falls in the History/Culture department. I could list the same object or target under Business/Commerce and also under Signs if I had waymarks in these categories approved.
