[Cancelled] GC7C2GH 13 cache types challenge

Hi,

I need a checker for 13 found Geocache Types, in any country (not all need to be in the same country.

GC is https://coord.info/GC7C2GH

I'm not sure if the "Attainable" Guideline would apply here, since it effectively limits the eligible cachers to those who have been to a Mega, Giga, and Maze event or have already been around when Locationless Caches were still available. What do you think about such a challenge?

Thank you

JakeDot

If a new player starts today to achieve this challenge and there is no way to success, then I think this will not be published. There may be some other (unpublished) limits. Maybe you should consult your local reviewer about the upper limit of cache types allowed for this kind of challenge.

I already did, no response yet. It definitely is possible for new cachers to achieve it, myself being an example. With rising numbers of Mega, Giga, and Maze events it actually may become easier in the future to qualify.

Thanks for your help,

my reviewer considered the needed cache types (virtual, webcam, or some of the other grandfathered types where normally no new publishes are possible) as well as the rarity of the needed (event) types too big a challenge to still be attainable to a sufficiently large number of cachers.

This request can therefore be closed.

Again, thanks!
