Tag comment: Double Your Jasmer Pleasure Challenge! To qualify for this challenge, you must find a minimum of two caches placed in each of the months since geocaching began in May 2000, up to and including the month that you complete the challenge and log your find.

Would it be possible to make this exclude the current month?

Changed.
Did you want one for 4 finds per month? If you create the page the checker can tagged eminently and you can publish when you meet the requirements

The GC code is the existing challenge that has a checker, it is for double Jasmer.
I need the tag change so it can run for triple (3) and quad (4) .

I can't publish the cache until the checker is in place.

Read the Read First http://project-gc.com/forum/read?8,13,13#msg-13

Create the listings without submitting and post the GC codes here.
Add the checkers to the listing and submit. (when you meet the requirements)

PGC need the gc codes on the challenges

No it can't. Sorry for the confusion.

But the GC-Code should exist within the checker tag. Once the challenge is published they will automatically be connected.

You can still register the geocache without adding it to the review queue. In that way a proper tag can be created.

The suggested workflow can be read here (sticky in this forum): READ FIRST

Its strange that now with the current month excluded it tells me I don't qualify, it still shows may at the bottom but I have 3 and more on all months.
Probably because it says "end date "today"?

It was a bug in the checker. I send a bug report to to the script writer.

Today is the right option the alternative is a specific date.
The problem was that the number of required months was calculated before the current moth was removed

I put "2016-04-30" as end date temporary. That has to be changed when the bug is fixed. I will likely forgot it so remind me if i do

Please note, a Double Jasmer (or anything else above a regular Jasmer Challenge) is unlikely to be published.

Can you explain why double or triple jasmer challenges are frowned upon?

Because of the limited number of available caches for certain months in the year 2000, and the resulting limited number of geocachers in a given area who could qualify after significant travel, Geocaching HQ's written guidance to reviewers is that challenges beyond a traditional / "single" Jasmer should not be published.

FWIW there are at least 30 people in 200KM radius that have 3 Jasmers already, not to mention that there already are double Jasmer Challenge caches out there.

Volunteer Reviewer here. Geocaching HQ's written guidance to reviewers is that challenges beyond a traditional / "single" Jasmer should not be published. There has been no change on this point since May 2016. Therefore, I don't see the use of creating or updating the challenge checkers requested here.

Where is this this written official guidance?
Please provide a link, otherwise this checker stays until I have 10 people that quilify, which is the local reviewers official guidance in Ontario, you are not a Canadian reviewer.

To clarify, the "written guidance to reviewers" applies worldwide. There is not one standard for Jasmer caches in Canada and a different one for Jasmer caches in other countries. It would be pointless for me to provide the requested link to the written guidance because you are not a reviewer, and you would just receive an error message.

Well, you can tell that the Ontario reviewers, they've made and had their own rule for few years now. So if its for reviewers only how are we supposed to know until we've done the work and submit it for review?

It was simply a question to get this thread resolved

I do however like to point out to you that in the guidelines the following condition apply:
4. Source of Criteria : http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=206#sourceOfCriteria
Challenge cache owners must demonstrate that there are plenty of qualifying caches to meet the challenge at the time of publication.

The available caches form a problem in the jaar 2000 and 2001
I have looked at the situation with Toronto as a centerpoint
Year;month 1000km 500km Ontario
2000;5 | 2 | 1 | 0
2000;6 | 0 | 0 | 0
2000;7 | 1 | 0 | 0
2000;8 | 1 | 1 | 0
2000;9 | 2 | 1 | 0
2000;10 | 6 | 0 | 0
2000;11 | 6 | 0 | 0
2000;12 | 9 | 0 | 0
2001;1 | 16 | 2 | 0
2001;2 | 41 | 12 | 2
2001;3 | 47 | 11 | 1
2001;4 | 73 | 41 | 9
2001;5 | 52 | 24 | 5
2001;6 | 92 | 41 | 12
2001;7 | 107 | 44 | 7
2001;8 | 125 | 32 | 8
2001;9 | 89 | 21 | 3
2001;10 | 86 | 29 | 2
2001;11 | 82 | 23 | 1
2001;12 | 96 | 25 | 7

You can see that the available caches form a problem for these years, so do you wish to persue your challenge you have to consider what to do with those years.

The guidelines say nothing about proximity, this is a global game, people from other places visit Canada, also there are plenty of caches available and there are plenty of people that already have 3 full jasmers, last I checked my list had 24 people from US and Canada. This was one of the reasons I asked for a stat that shows that by month so its easier to find, because i am sure there are way more than 24 people qualifying. There are stats available that are far less significant than this one, and no, the one that shows top finders per placed year doesn't help, needs to be by month.

Please complete the checker for 2 Jasmers.
Thank you.
