Re: GCA2J6C Fizzy Conversion Challenge

The fizzy conversion is determined by total finds/total fizzies. To qualify must be less than 500.

I'm sorry but your challenge criteria is not allowed because otal finds/total fizzies is a ratio which is not acceptable under clause 14. Positive Challenge Criteria

Please read https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206#positiveCriteria

Not acceptable

Not finding caches: design that limits or punishes any element of finding caches. Examples: Challenges that require ratios in finds

It lets try Fizzy with caches placed in 2017. Make the year changeable in case I need to adjust the year to get enough qualifiers. Included back and forth with reviewer.



}}}Would a placed date fizzy be ok if the year was specified?
Yes, as long as there are enough available caches, which I suspect there are, as well as the usual 10+yourself prequalified.

}}}Say all finds must be from 2017?
If you mean "all finds must be from caches placed in 2017" then yes.

Since any find that does not improve your Fizzy Loop count would make qualifying harder, that means it would promote not finding those caches. So, that isn't

Would fizzy count X1000 > total finds be allowed.

Reply ended up out of sequence, fizzy with caches placed in 2017 had been OK'd by reviewer. If year can be flexible, maybe a range of years. Ie 10 years of Fizzies. That would be great.

How about total finds * total fizzy * 81 > 25 million.

As far as I know there is no existing script but before I make this topic as a "new script required" , I would like to ask you to contact your reviewer. I still have doubts about the possibility of publishing this criteria

Message sent, I know 1 is on vacation at the moment.

My reply seems to go missing.
Reviewer ok with Fizzy with caches placed in given year

So lets start with 2017,

Please test and reply

Looks good, turns out with the changes needed to get it published I am one find short. Did find one qualifier, so far.
