	~~== What is it? ==~~		'''MD Caching Points''' is a system created by MacDefender<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180410013054/http://www.macdefender.org/products/GCStatistic/mdCachingPoints.html MacDefender - GCStatistic mdCachingPoints] from archive.org</ref> and it is used in the [[TopMDCachingPoints\|Top MD Caching Points]]-list at [[Project-GC]]. The idea is that a more complex geocache should get more points to give a better idea of how "experienced" a user is.

The points are calculated as Type factor * Difficulty * Terrain. For example a Wherigo™ Cache with a D/T of 3/5 gives 30 points (Type factor 2 * D3 * T5 = 235 = 30) and a Traditional Cache with a D/T of 2/3 gives 6 points (Type factor 1 * D2 * T3 = 123 = 6). The type factors can be seen in the table below.		The points are calculated as '''Type factor''' * '''Difficulty''' * '''Terrain'''.
