[Resolved] My first challege cache needs a checker :)
December 31, 2020 11:46PM
Hi there - I'm looking to get a checker for my new cache (GC94JM7 - Transatlantic Crossing Challenge)

To qualify for the challenge, users need to have found caches in a total of 5 countries, from the three following groups:

Eastern Atlantic (2 countries)
Mid Atlantic (1 country)
Western Atlantic (2 countries)

For the purpose of the challenge I am providing the following lists.

Hope this makes sense and is doable. Very much appreciated and a Happy New Year!!!

Well first things first, Happy New Year!

I’m getting mixed results so far. A lot of check marks for qualified cachers, but ironically the one person I want to qualify is getting 0/2 on the Eastern shore. His countries are France & Nigeria but he gets 0/2 on the checker (user = ToonAl).

Can you let me know and I will test again?

Big thanks!

I have fixed it.... it was my mistake, the previous configuration required 2 finds in 2 countries....not 1 find in 2 countries.

My apologies

@GreyHams
In the config you do not have to use
"count": { "field": "country", "min": 1 }, "min": 2,
just use
"count": { "field": "country" }, "min": 2,

and can you exclude
{ "field": "type", "exclude": ["Locationless (Reverse) Cache"] }

Well that’s a thing of beauty! Looks to be working perfectly, hoping this will be published soon and will get some action in 2021. Much appreciated, amazing turnaround time, TFTCC (thanks for the challenge checker)

No problem.... will do it now

Can you please let me know how I get this to include the cache name “Transatlantic Crossing Challenge” and published for use? Much appreciated!

Project-GC doesn't have access to unpublished caches hence the "?" you see there now. As soon as your challenge cache is published (or within a reasonable time thereafter), your cache name (and country where it resides) will be shown there
