Re: GCA2BCG: "Happiest Twenty'est Birthday"
I would think that your Reviewer would refuse publication under these guidelines:

[quote="Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 9: Time-Limited"]

[color=#FF0000][b][img]https://i.imgur.com/SJiK42s.png[/img] NOT ACCEPTABLE[/b][/color]
Time-limited caching: as in some number of finds per day, week, month, or year. Examples: Busy Day, 50 finds in a day, 500 finds in a month, etc.
[/quote]

(Your challenge requires individuals to find a cache exactly on its twentieth birthday.)

[quote="Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 10: Source of Criteria"]

[color=#FF0000][b][img]https://i.imgur.com/SJiK42s.png[/img] NOT ACCEPTABLE[/b][/color]
Restricting finds to caches published prior to a particular date.
[/quote]

(Your challenge restricts finds more than just "before" a particular date (being $TODAY - 20 years) but furthermore requires exactly that date.)

[quote="Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 14: Positive Challenge Criteria"]

[color=#FF0000][b][img]https://i.imgur.com/SJiK42s.png[/img] NOT ACCEPTABLE[/b][/color]
Not finding caches: design that limits or punishes any element of finding caches. Examples: Challenges that require ratios in finds; such as 10% of finds must be Attended logs, challenges that require finding only some particular type for over time, as 100 consecutive Mystery finds.
[/quote]

(Your challenge encourages people to not find caches, and instead wait until they are twenty years old.)

Please discuss with your local Reviewer Team. If they accept the conditions of this challenge, we will make a checker.
