Need Checker for GC8A0M8 - BadgeGen Gemstone Sapphire Level Challenge
Can I get a checker for this contemplated challenge? GC8A0M8

For this challenge check your BadgeGen tab in your project-gc stats. There are 27 badges (out of 39) whose level can be determined from stats that are available from Geocaching.com stats and also meet the current guidelines for a Challenge cache. [Some of the 39 badges do not meet the new Challenge Cache guidelines, e.g., Caches hidden, Cache Types in a day, and others.] To meet the qualifications for this challenge, you simply need 54 points from the values of the 27 badges added together which is an average of 2.0 Using only these 27 badges, simply assign yourself 1 point for each Ruby level badge (the lowest of the 4 gemstones), 2 points for each Sapphire level badge, 3 points for each Emerald level badge, and 4 points for each Diamond level badge (the highest of the 4 gemstones). 54 points means you averaged 2.0 for these 27 badges which indicates an average level of Sapphire.

These are the 27 badges and the number you need for each Gemstone badge level.
