It seems the date range might need adjusting for this checker, but I am not sure. It is not including those caches that were hidden late in December 2001, for example GC2F06, Pineywoods KM2, was hidden on 30 December 2001, but it does not appear in the checker when a cacher has found that cache.

Link for the checker: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC437JA/12397

Thank you.

Looks like the checker uses the cache owners bookmark list to do the validation https://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=214fbad7-f152-48c3-913e-0e4a9c7836a4

If you think caches are missing from the list you are probably best to contact the cache owner and ask them to be added.

I don't think so. When I run the checker, it returns only the ones that I have found. That link you shared are all 105 elligible caches. The checker says I don't qualify, because it only finds 49 caches. I do qualify, because I have found 50, except the checker is not catching those at the end of the qualifying period.

As I said the cache you think you should qualify with doesn't appear to be in that bookmark list, hence it isn't being included as being valid. You need to ask the CO to include it in the bookmark list (or explain why they don't think it is valid).

I made a checker not base on the bookmark but taking in account the conditions of the challenge

Here is the link https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC437JA/32702

Please ask the owner of the challenge if this checker is acceptable.
