Requirements are to have at least 13 hides under profile.

I'm not sure that I've seen this type before so wanted to give it a try. Thanks!

Unfortunately that's against rule 10 of the challenge cache guidelines:

Source of Criteria: Not Acceptable: Requiring cachers to own a cache.

Can I change it to having to discover/log at least 13 trackables?

Rule 10 again:

Source of Criteria: Not Acceptable: Trackable, Benchmarking, Waymarking logs, or specifying Lab Cache finds.

What about things like types of cache? Multi? Mystery? CITO?

I don't think they allow challenges with 13 types at present, since many of the types are grandfathered. 13 regions in country X, 130 counties in country X?

Thanks for the tips. I thought I had this all figured out for Friday the 13th, but apparently a lot of the similar ones I was trying from another set are grandfathered in. Can I try and do some that are cumulative in mileage? Such as "at least 13 caches x amount of miles from your home location?"

Can't use anything that's based on home coordinates, since that location is not known to the checker system. Can do cache-to-cache distance more than X, or find X caches with FP's totalling Y.

Ok, so I could change it to require finding a cache with more than 13 favorite points?

Yes that will be allowed, but 13 FP's might be a bit low? Can also do 13 caches with 13+ FP's? Or 13 caches with 130+ FP's. Just giving you ideas, you have to decide which you prefer.

You are helping me so much and I truly appreciate it!! This has become harder than I had anticipated when I started it out. I like your idea of 13 caches with 13 FP's. I think I'll adjust my cache page and try that one again!

Here's a checker for 13 times 13+ FP's:

Requirements might still be a bit low, but not sure if you're doing these challenges for "newbies" or for more experienced cachers. Either way, feel free to test the checker above.

Thank you so much!! I guess it is a little bit more for newbies, but I'm just trying to play around with the number 13 for Friday the 13th. The checker is great, thanks!
