The only geographic divisions which can be used are countries, regions and counties. The counties defined for Nordrhein-Westfalen are: Bielefeld Bochum Bonn Borken (Kr) Bottrop Coesfeld (Kr) Dortmund Duisburg Düren (Kr) Düsseldorf Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis Essen Euskirchen (Kr) Gelsenkirchen Gütersloh (Kr) Hagen Hamm Heinsberg (Kr) Herford (Kr) Herne Hochsauerlandkreis Höxter (Kr)by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Sorry, 10km radius is 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)
Since favourite points are only available to premium members, this would be against guideline 8: QuoteNot acceptable Challenges specifically excluding any segment of cachers. I believe it's also against guideline 10: QuoteChallenge cache criteria must be based upon the type of log, not on the log content.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Firstly, this can't be done with the checker system, as the system doesn't have access to logs other than your own. Secondly, and more importantly, it would not be allowed under guideline 14: QuoteNot acceptable Competition rather than achievement. Examples: challenges based on "First to Finds" or lonely caches are competitions.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Ah, okay. That would be allowed. It will require a new script, I'm sure.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
365 days has been confirmed by Geocaching HQ as being the absolute longest minimum time to qualify for a challenge cache. And time-limited criteria are banned except for the few allowed exceptions: QuoteAcceptable * Maintaining a finds streak, at least one find per day, up to 365 days. * Finding some number of caches per month, provided the number is cumulative over all years. Example: 100 findby sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
This wouldn't be 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 (completed)
Sorry, this is not allowed under guideline 10: QuoteNot acceptable These cache page elements: cache titles, cache owner, GC Codes, publishing Reviewer, or cache page text.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I would go through Geocaching messaging centre. You can put the username you want to message.by sumbloke - Miscellaneous
Those two appear to be currently mapped to Washoe County. Zooming in on the Map Counties map around there I can see the county border showing in a location where they should be in Lyon County. Looks like the map data used is wrong. You might want to message magma1447 if he doesn't respond to this conversation soon.by sumbloke - Miscellaneous
Here you go: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9FF3N/62849 Please confirm it is suitable. P.S.: I had to look up #29-#32, since they were missing from your list.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Sorry, this condition is no longer allowed under guideline 10: QuoteNot acceptable Challenges based on words or letters. Examples: use the first letter of regions of found caches to spell a word, find caches with attributes that begin with a certain letter, find caches in counties with the same name. (Added July 2021)by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
That challenge has been grandfathered. Reviewers are no longer allowed under guideline 10: QuoteNot acceptable These cache page elements: cache titles, cache owner, GC Codes, publishing Reviewer, or cache page text.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
The "Typical workflow" section of the "READ FIRST" thread explains how to go about it. Basically, we don't need the title of the challenge, just the conditions and the GC-code.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
FTFs are not allowed under guideline 14: QuoteNot acceptable Competition rather than achievement; examples, challenge based on "First to Finds" or lonely caches are competitions.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Trackables are no longer allowed as challenge conditions under guideline 10: QuoteNot acceptable Trackable, Benchmarking, Waymarking logs, or specifying Lab Cache finds. As such, I doubt there would be any motivation for the checker system to be expanded, if any of the additional information you want is even available through the Groundspeak API.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
1. No, the checker system only has access to finds. 2. Challenges signed but not logged would not be allowed as a challenge condition anyway. Guideline 10 states Quote Challenge cache criteria must be based upon caches with the seeker’s logs: Found it!, Attended, Webcam Photo Taken.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Yes, it certainly can be done. Please provide your GC code.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I got contacted by the CO. There's another condition that the caches have "Route 66" or some variant thereof in the title (or allowed substitution). The new checker is https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC59R79/59258 BTW, this additional condition means that the challenge would not be allowed any more.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Okay, I'll remove mine then.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Here you go: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC970Z9/59045 Please confirm it is suitable.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Sorry, this is not allowed under guideline 10: QuoteNot acceptable These cache page elements: cache titles, cache owner, GC Codes, publishing Reviewer, or cache page text. Restricting finds to caches published prior to a particular date.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Checker has been updated. Please confirm.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
No new challenge with these criteria would be allowed. The two mentioned in the original post are ones which were published before the current guidelines and therefore have been grandfathered in.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I've removed the old ones. Please check I haven't missed any.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

Here's a script for just the states/DC: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC95NF9/58345 Territories are not possible with your conditions using that script. If you really want that possibility, a new script would be needed. Please confirm if my checker is suitable or if you would like a new script.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
No, this would not be possible with the checker system. The checker system doesn't have any facility to obtain other logs on the same cache, which would be necessary in order to determine which day the FTF was. Additionally, even if it were possible, it's unlikely to get much attention from script-writers, given such a challenge would no longer be allowed.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I've sent SeekerSupreme a message about the script, drawing his(/her) attention to this thread. I also suggested a possible fix based on some experimentation I did. The experimentation did come up with a solution for you: County: **Franklin County** (4) Maine - GC489A / Engineer's memory Pennsylvania - GCH0ZH / Cheery Oh! Tennessee - GCA21F / Native American Trail Treesby sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Here you go: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC94245/58326 Please confirm it is suitable. Also, please confirm whether you want it restricted to European countries (like the one you referenced) or if you're happy with regions anywhere in the world. I've implemented it as European for now, but can change it easily enough.by sumbloke - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
