Here you go: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCA2R2V/73358 Please confirm it is suitable. Note that this checker excludes Reverse (Locationless) caches by default. I could allow them, but they're problematic (due to changing location). I think it's better to leave it as all types except that one. Edit: changed to a different script which handles Lab caches.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Checker removed as the cache was published with different criteria.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hadn't kept my script up to date with the change to the one I'd incorporated. It's updated now. Here's your checker: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCA1Q4W/72586 Please confirm it is suitable.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I agree with you. It's a non-challenge with ALR.by sumbloke - Challenge checker exceptions
This wouldn't be allowed under guideline 10: QuoteNot acceptable Trackable, Benchmarking, Waymarking logs, or specifying Lab Cache finds. It's also arguable that it would not be allowed under guideline 14: QuoteNot acceptable Not finding caches: design that limits or punishes any element of finding caches. Examples: Challenges that require ratios in finds; such as 10% of finds mustby sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Script adjusted. You can update your tag to match the new example.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Conditions 1 and 3 are fine. 2, 4 and 5 are not allowed under guideline 9: QuoteNot acceptable Time-limited caching: as in some number of finds per day, week, month, or year. Examples: Busy Day, 50 finds in a day, 500 finds in a month, etc.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)

The final arbitrators of what is and is not allowed are the reviewers. We only provide guidance based on our understanding of the guidelines and advice we have previously received from reviewers. I am aware of other challenges being rejected due to use of distances between caches being used in the criteria, citing this guideline. If you wish to ask your reviewer and get back to us, go ahead.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Sorry, this sort of challenge is no longer allowed under guideline 10: QuoteNot acceptable Challenges based on geographic areas other than countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent).

No, the checker system doesn't have access to the closest other cache. There's no way to write a checker for it.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Here you go: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9Y96T/70528 Please confirm it is suitable. Also, note that if you're looking for an exact copy of another challenge, you can do a "Clone tag..." from the original one rather than having to request one. Not that it's too difficult for us to copy, but you'll get it a bit quicker.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I don't think so. PGC checkers don't seem to have any way to find the date a cache was first found. And it's unlikely to be added since this sort of challenge is no longer allowed.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I believe this is due to GC73GZQ which was created by a cacher who has since removed their account. Please contact Gentse Haviken, who wrote that script (you can do so from the checker page).by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

That might* be allowed. But it would need a new script or script modification because I'm not aware of any which could handle that criteria. In fact, the only timezone checkers I can find are ones I've written. * It might not, because I've heard different reviewers have different takes on timezones. Might be worth asking your reviewer whether it would be allowed before I put effby sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Sorry, this type of challenge is no longer allowed under guideline 10: QuoteNot acceptable Challenges based on geographic areas other than countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent).

I've disabled it. I'll leave it there for the moment so I can do some more debugging.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
The bug was that if they had more regions than necessary it was failing to pull the next number from the list (because it didn't have another number). I've added a default value for additional non-zero regions of 1.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Okay, going to have to do some more debugging...by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

Oh, sorry. I thought the 49N thing was related to a different challenge cache. Lines of latitude are not allowed under guideline 10: QuoteNot acceptable Challenges based on geographic areas other than countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent). Examples: user-defined mapping polygons, latitude/longitude, radius, etc.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Older challenges didn't require a checker. However a lot of them had checkers made. Go to Tools->Challenge checkers and search for the GC code to see if there is one. If not, several of the tools on Project-GC can help. One way you could check for latitude-based challenges would be to use Map Compare with the centre/radius filter added, using north/south pole as the centre and calculatby sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
No, you can't require any more than 1 find in a day. I made the words "guideline 9" in my previous post a link to the guidelines, please read through them.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
