[Cancelled] GC9760P - 10 cache types Checker request

[Cancelled] GC9760P - 10 cache types Checker request
March 07, 2021 05:15AM
I'm unsure if this checker should be cloned or if it needs a few changes to be what I need:
https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC3EGT0/5819

My questions about it are:
1. Can locationless types be added/are locationless types allowable in a types challenge?
2. Can benchmarks be removed?
3. There are two different GPS Adventure Maze types and I'm not sure why?
4. There are two different types of Lost and Found types listed and I'm not sure why?

Thank you!

This looks good to me. I'm verifying with my reviewer as he said "some types are not allowed" and I want to be sure this list would be publishable by him. I will confirm with his final word.

Never mind. Looks like checkers are case sensitive, and I didn't capitalize. Thanks.

Well, my reviewer had this to say:
These are NOT OK:
"Lost and Found Event Cache" - Not a current cache type.
"Locationless (Reverse) Cache" - Only 2 currently available. GC8NEAT and the Frog (not currently available due to COVID) The GC8NEAT cache would fall into "discrete list", and therefore not allowed.
"Mega-Event Cache" - No current Mega events scheduled (across the globe) due to Covid
"GPS Adventures Exhibit" - Not a current cache type.
"Groundspeak Block Party" - Not a current cache type.
"Giga-Event Cache" - No current Giga events scheduled (across the globe) due to Covid
"Groundspeak HQ" - Office access is not available - and cache may not be currently logged.
"Groundspeak Lost and Found Celebration" - Not a current cache type.
"Lab Cache" - Not eligible as criteria for Challenge caches.

So, it looks like I picked a bad time in the history of history to want to hide this type of challenge. I'll have to try again when things are more normal and I can include more cache types. Thank you writing this script when I didn't anticipate so much would not be allowable.

Shall I removed the checker and move this request to ARCHIVED REQUESTS

You can always put in a new request at a later date

Yes, this can be archived and I'll request with very specific parameters next time when more types are available.
