German cacher Flixsi retrieved cooper troopers' the noble traveller Travel Bug from the Whovian multicache that it was residing in. A few days later it was grabbed by fellow German Orphik at this CITO Event 156.62 miles away. Interestingly, Flixsi has not logged an attended at this event, but did attend an earlier event, but Orphik didn't. This means that the noble traveller possibly spent time in the hands of another cacher in between. If the missing link (not that one!) is found, then I'll add any extra distance covered.
Also on the move has been Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan) TB, which has been picked up by Canadian cacher new8812, who has dipped LaP(Maan) into this cache, adding 24.03 miles to it's total distance covered, before going on to dip the Love-spreading trackable into 1, 2, 3, 4 further caches. No milage was added to Love and Peace's official total due to the rule stating that only the first cache visited by each cacher holding the TB counts. New8812 have retained possession.
Finally, mat smith's Hazards of Geocaching 2 (The Sheep) Travel Bug has been retrieved from the Dutch multicache that it was grazing in by occassional cacher Drifter_NL.

Confused? You Will Be!
Okay, first a little background; when I started The Great Travel Bug Knockout I decided not to allow multiple placings (known as "dips") to count towards an entry's total milage, so as not to give an unfair advantage to a TB that is picked up by a regular long-distance traveller. All three Bugs that have been moved in the last week have therefore had some or all of it's recent milage disallowed.
Firstly, current Knockout leader, Blid435's BraveHeart has had all of it's dips by New Zealand cacher willbuild disallowed apart from the first one. How many dips have been disallowed? Well, let's count them, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42! After all that diptastic action, willbuild finally placed BH into this picturesque cache which he owns.
Next up is Jacaru's Knockout Ferrari TB, which cacher Anothercell placed into this cache on the busy U.S. Interstate Highway 5. Mysteriously, this log was deleted and KF was then dipped into this cache instead, then this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one and this one, before eventually being logged into Along the 5 again. As the difference between being placed directly into Along the 5 and being dipped into 1-Carrot-But NO BLING! is less than a mile, I've allowed the corrected order to stand.
Finally, G-X's Voodoo Whodo Whatever... TB was placed into an event cache named Dragon Motor Meet. Shortly afterwards the event was re-named Deceangi (The Boss's) Suprise Party and was revealed to be a surprise 50th Birthday party for Geocaching.com's head U.K. cache reviewer Deceangi. VWWYDDDP was retrieved from the event by cachers The GeoBEATS, who dipped it in this Cheshire cache, adding 39.54 miles to it's total distance travelled, before placing it into this cache, also in Cheshire.

Plenty more miles for BraveHeart
The newbies from New Zealand, FlipDags, have proven that they know what they're doing by moving the current leader of The Great Travel Bug Knockout, Blid435's BraveHeart TB to this cache 73.84 miles to the South-East. I've only just noticed how all geocaches in New Zealand seem to include the area of the country that it is located in as a parenthesized addition to the cache's name, I wonder why this is?
In other Knockout news, Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan) TB may have outstayed it's welcome in The Frozen North, as no cacher was interested enough in it to retrieve it from the Event Cache that it visited on Friday, so the event organiser, Chewy_06, has logged LaP(Maan) into his inventory.
Finally, Hungarian cacher tomreti has dipped lgxkls' Hazards of Geocaching 1 - Karon's Knockout Racer Bug into this fascinating cache in Budapest, but no milage has been added to HoG1's distance travelled as this is the second cache that tomreti has taken the bovine trackable too.

Still no sign of The Wild Man of the Woods...
5...4...3...2...1...
It's the final countdown for Grizzly Pair's Quatchi - Grizzly's Knockout Racer! Will the elusive Travel Bug be found in time to add sufficient milage to it's distance to exceed Billy Bear Racer's distance? For that matter, will Billy Bear Racer turn up in a cache or a cacher's hands? All will be revealed by noon tomorrow...
In other news from The Great Travel Bug Knockout, 4 of the current top 6 have either been dropped off or picked up:
Racer leader, Blid435's BraveHeart TB, has been retrieved from the cache that it was resting in by newbie cachers FlipDags. This is the first trackable that FlipDags have ever picked up. Will they know what to do with it?
Third placed TB, Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan), has been placed into this event cache, to be held tomorrow, adding 5.23 miles to it's distance travelled.
Fourth placed entry cooper troopers' the noble traveller, has also been moved a short distance, 1.21 miles, and I'm sure that any distance added will please cooper troopers, but will they be happy that their Travel Bug has moved from a cache that is visited almost every day to one that is visited almost every week!?
Finally, current sixth placed Bug, smart451's Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer was retrieved from the event cache that it was placed into by experienced Swedish cacher omaster.

Life is just one party after another (if you're Smart!)
When the caching gets tough, the cachers go to Events. At least they do in Sweden, as smart451's Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer has been picked up at an event cache yesterday, by the explorist, who has posted photographs from the event on his blog (now, where have I seen that template before?!).
No sooner had the explorist retrieved SC10KR, than he logged it into another event, Mellandagcaching i Katrineholm, adding 177.31 miles to it's distance travelled. The name of the event refers not only to it's location, but also to the fact that it is being held on a day between Christmas and New Year's Day, known as a mellandag or in-between day.

Smart Car 10 is walking backwards to Christmas!
Swedish cacher jsson has placed smart451's Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer in this Event cache in Gothenburg, to be held on December 20th. This is close to Haga, the first Swedish cache that SC10KR visited, meaning that it is doubling back on itself, adding 114.45 miles to it's distance travelled.
