[Fourlanders] Grid Circling

[Rogers, Ron]

Well, if you are looking for a foundation of definition for discussion
and/or editing and additional comments, the following is directly from
Wikipedia >

"Grid circling" is a highly-coordinated operation of two or more rover
stations. Two or more rover stations arrive at an area near the
intersection of four Maidenhead grid locators, and "circle" through the
possible combinations of grid locators, making contact with each other
from all possible grid and band/mode combinations. The rover stations
then drive to the next intersection of grid locators on their planned
route and repeat the process. Stations participating in grid circling do
not need to be capable of communicating over distances longer than a few
miles. Even without making contact with any other stations in the
contest, grid circling stations can generate large scores just by
contacting the other stations in their small, tightly-coordinated group.

I understand your feelings but please something more helpful than that.
Let me elborate a bit more.  If you are going to have rules regulating
an activity you must first have a definition of that activity.  I have
been tasked to write the definitions for grid circling and pack/team
rovering.
This IS NOT going to be easy so that is why I am looking for some help
from my fellow contest buddies.  So, if you were going to write a
definition of those activities, something like in a dictionary, what
would you write?
