[Cancelled] GC9ZJE0 - 5 types on 111 different dates
September 17, 2022 04:49AM
Hi challenge checker experts,
I want to pay tribute to the person who came up with the idea for GC6MF8R by copying their challenge.
Criteria:
Fill at least 111 geocaching days in the calendar with 5 different cache types per day. These caches can be found in different years.
I think I'm on 100 at the moment, but will get the remaining 11 soon.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, this Challenge is not publishable:

Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 9: Time-Limited

NOT ACCEPTABLE
Requiring more than one find on any day or calendar date, even if cumulative. Example: find 5 caches for every date of the Finds for Each Day of the Year grid.

Oh no. I assumed that because GC6MF8R got published (and the other similar challenges by the same hider), that my challenge would be okay too.
I must say that whoever wrote "Requiring more than one find on any day or calendar date, even if cumulative" seems to be limiting all challenges to 366 caches only. Very strange wording. And of course a lot of challenges require a lot more that 366 finds.

That guideline did not exist in 2016. It is grandfathered. Either way:

Please be advised that there is no precedent for placing geocaches.

Okay. I will do something else with that geocache. We don't have enough 5/5s in my area so I might make one of those.
