Re: 100 special founds GC90H9F checker required

[Awaiting feedback] 100 special founds GC90H9F checker required
June 28, 2021 07:52AM
Hello!
I'm creating a challenge for which you need 100 special founds (corresponding my hides):

Northrine-Westphalia: 14 Tradis, 15 Multis, 13 Letterboxes, 5 (normal) Events, 1 CITO, 21 Mysterys, 8 EarthCaches and 3 Wherigos
Bavaria: 1 EarthCache
Austria: 1 Tradi and 1 EarthCache
Switzerland: 3 Tradis
Italia: 1 Letterbox and 1 EarthCache
Africa: 1 EarthCache
Worldwide: 1 Community Celebration Event and 10 Labcaches

The Community Celebration Events are rare until now (getting more hopefully very soon), so it's for my challenge not important, where it was attended.The reviewer said, that he will publish it, when I find 30 person in my area which are able to log it.

Thanks a lot!

You can not specify Lab caches.Tthis is not allowed according to the hiding guidelines 2.12.10. Source of Criteria
also Community Celebration Eventis are part of the "Lost and Found Event Cache" type and normally not allowed as a stand-alone event

Thanks for your reply, Vogelbird!

The first version of the checker of GC8Y4PD included Labcaches (found at least one), but was not able to specify the location. So I use a different checker without Labcaches, because the location was important for the challenge.
In my new challenge I would like to have the proof, that 10 Labcaches are found, without any further specification.
The (simple) number of the Labcaches is verifiable through information on Geocaching.com!

It's fine for me, that Community Celebration Eventis are part of the "Lost and Found Event Cache". That makes it a little bit easier. My reviewer said, that it's possible, when I find 30 Cachers of my Region. I would like to try that.

Sorry, but I am not allowed to make a checker which specifies Lab Caches

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

Not acceptable

Trackable, Benchmarking, Waymarking logs, or specifying Lab Cache finds.

Hello Vogelbird,

my Reviewer was not sure, so he recommended me to ask the HQ and they have said, that you are right (Lab Caches are not allowed in Challenges). But the Community Celebration Events / Lost and Found Event Cache are no problem for the reviewer, so I would try this please:

100 Founds needed (no matter where)

10 different Cache Types (no matter where)

Northrine-Westphalia: 14 Tradis, 15 Multis, 13 Letterboxes, 5 (normal) Events, 1 CITO, 21 Mysterys, 8 EarthCaches and 3 Wherigos

Bavaria: 1 EarthCache

Austria: 1 Tradi and 1 EarthCache

Switzerland: 3 Tradis

Italia: 1 Letterbox and 1 EarthCache

Africa: 1 EarthCache

Worldwide: 1 Community Celebration Event or Lost and Found Event Cache

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for the Checker!

Cold you please modify the checker, that Lab Caches are included in the total founds (at least 100) and the Cache Types (at least 10)?! In my opinion this is in line with the guidelines.

The name of the Challenge is: ruhrPod's 100 Challenge

The config is adjusted but I contacted the scriptwriter because for the 10 types the script still needs adjusting before it will work

I will let you know when this is done

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
