<tr bgcolor="#F3F3F3"><td><i>How do I play?</i></td>
<td>Turn the GPS on and enter a [[zone]]. After 45 seconds the zone is yours and you earn some points. Continue and take more zones… See also the [[rules]].</td>
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><td><i>How long is the zone mine?</i></td>
<td>Until someone else takes it, or until the round ends. As long as it is yours it will give you [[points]].</td>
<tr bgcolor="#F3F3F3"><td><i>What is a revisit?</i></td>
<td>If you own a zone for more than 23 hours, you can enter it again, that is called a [[revisit]]. A revisit gives you half the normal take over points. After yet another 23 hours you can make another [[revisit]].</td>
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><td><i>When I entered a [[zone ]] I couldn’t take it?</i></td> <td>Probably because someone else recently took the zone, making the zone [[block_time|blocked ]] for a while. A [[zone ]] that is [[block_time|blocked ]] has got its inside is striped in yellow and black (on the map, that is ;-). Wait until the [[block_time|block ]] time has run out, and then take the zone. If the zone already was yours, then you can of course not take it.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#F3F3F3"><td><i>How long is the [[block_time|block time]]?</i></td> <td>From 5 minutes up to 30 minutes depending on the [[rank]] of the player who took the [[zone]]. A player with [[rank ]] 1-5 has 5 minutes block time. Rank 5-30 renders a block time in minutes equal to the rank. Rank 31 and above still means 30 minutes. A [[revisit ]] always block a zone for 5 minutes no matter the rank. To see how much is left of the block time just click on the zone.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><td><i>Is it possible to get a shorter [[takeover_time|take over ]] time?</i></td> <td>The first time you play your take over time is 45 seconds, but as you level up (by earning [[points]]) and get a higher [[rank]] that time will shorten. At rank 40 you reach a take over time of 25 seconds, and will not get a shorter time by leveling up. For having the GPS on you will get an additional 5 seconds bonus. And for being the [[regionlord]] you can also get another 5 seconds bonus. Thus, the absolute minimum [[takeover_time|take over ]] time is 15 seconds. </td>
<tr bgcolor="#F3F3F3"><td><i>How many zones are there?</i></td>
<td>A zone can be good in many ways. It can be in a historical place, it can have a splendid view, it can be in a park, it can be in a large square, or why not in swamp so that you get a memory that you will never forget when taking the zone. A good zone can also be quite ordinary, but its location might be good for strategical reasons, that is, together with other zones it might form a nice tour.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><td><i>What is a bad [[zone]]?</i></td> <td>A bad zone is a zone that is dangerous to take (motor roads, railways, navigable channels, etc). If you have to trespass to take the zone, then it is bad. If the zone is indoors it also is considered as bad. A zone is also bad if it will cause turfers to leave marks, for example, if a zone is located so that turfers [[turfer]]s will go by [[bicycle|bike ]] over a waterlogged lawn. If the zone is just inconvenient to take, then it is not considered as bad. Please report bad zones in the forum. Zones where the GPS position is interfered by, for example, surrounding building can also be reported.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#F3F3F3"><td><i>The zone is enclosed and you have to pay an entrence entrance fee to be able take it!</i></td>
<td>There are a few zones like that, for example, inside the famous amusement park Tivoli in Copenhagen. They are nice to visit and add value to the game. Note that you do not need to take all zones, and if one zone is enclosed, then there are for sure zones nearby that you can visit without paying for it.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><td><i>How do I suggest zones?</i></td>
<td>In the menu of the app there is an icon featuring a lightbulblight bulb. Zoom in to the area where you would like to have a zone. Click on the icon. Start to draw... You get 3 suggestions every round (month). Remember to make the size of the zone approximately 25x25 metresmeters.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#F3F3F3"><td><i>Why has the zone I suggested not been created?</i></td>
<td>No.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#F3F3F3"><td><i>Why do certain players wear a [[crown ]] in the app?</i></td> <td>The player that owns most zones in a region is called [[regionlord]]. The [[regionlord]] wears a [[crown ]] and gets as a [[GPS-bonus|bonus ]] 5 seconds shorter take over time.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><td><i>What does the yellow meter below the [[points ]] show?</i></td>
<td>The yellow meter shows the progress to the next [[ranks|rank]]. When the bar is full the player will get a new rank.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#F3F3F3"><td><i>What does a green plus sign on the map mean?</i></td>
<td>Ett grönt plustecken visar att det har kommit en ny zon på den platsen sedan du senast öppnade TurfappenA green plus sign indicates that there has been a new [[zone]] on that location since you last opened the Turf app.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><td><i>What is warded?</i></td>
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><td><i>Is the turf account personal?</i></td>
<td>It is as personal as your google Google account. But it goes without saying that it isn't fair play if several people team up and turf with the same account. It is considered as cheating.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#F3F3F3"><td><i>What do I do if I suspect that someone is cheating?</i></td>
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><td><i>Is it possible to check my points from previous rounds?</i></td>
<td>You will see the points you've gatehered gathered in the emails sent out after every [[round]]. If you are in the top-100 worldwide, then you can see them in [[warded]] as well.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#F3F3F3"><td><i>Is it possible for a dane Dane to win in Sweden and vice versa?</i></td>
<td>Yes, but a majority of the zones you have visited must be in that country. It is based on where your "home region" is.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><td><i>How does the game decide where my home [[region ]] is?</i></td> <td>The [[region ]] where you have visited most [[zone ]] during the current [[round]] is your home region. If, for example, you start a [[round ]] away, the that region will be your home region. When you get home you have to visit more zones than in the other region before you are considered home by the game.</td>
<tr bgcolor="#F3F3F3"><td><i>Is it possible to change e-mail (gmail) and still keep the same turf account?</i></td>
