I had heard some rumors of this race taking place next summer. Here is the website...

The format of it being a stage race (16-24 hours) for teams that choose to do the minimum and a non-stop race for teams wishing to get as many optional CPs as they can seems interesting but has the potential for disaster. It is going to be a point to point from Cheyenne to Casper which is pretty flat (no mountains) so the distances are long and seem to be bike heavy.
The $10,000 in cash/prizes and the dates interest me, but I don't want a treasure hunt, mis placed CP's, or a stage race...
The race organization has their act together in the triathlon world, but I am not totally convinced they have it together on the AR front. If I remember correctly, there were some 'issues' with their 24 hour races on the east coast in the past. I think they had some gimmicky team challenges that involved two by fours.
Can anybody more experienced with REV3's ARs and their organization shed some light on this event?
