News: The Cache IS at

The
Bad
News:
You must read the cache page for requirements to log this
cache!
This is a "Challenge Cache", Failure to follow the listed rules
WILL result in your log being deleted.
Don't make me be the bad guy!
Disclaimer: This cache is not for
everybody.
This cache was placed and created
based on "Well Rounded Cacher" (The Fizzy
Challenge) GC11E8Nand all of its counterparts.
To be able to claim a find on
this cache, you will need to first find at least one cache of every
difficulty/terrain combination (81 unique combinations). As part of
those finds, you'll need to have at least one of each of the cache
types below (the different cache types DO count against the
81, so if you find a 3.5/3.5 multi-cache, it fulfills both
requirements.)
I've excluded
LOCATIONLESS Caches as they've
been phased out:
Needed Cache Types*
- Traditional Cache
- Multi Cache
- Mystery Cache
- Virtual Cache
- Letterbox Hybrid
- EarthCache
- Webcam Cache
- Event Cache
- CITO Event
Optional Cache Types*
-
Mega-Event
- Adventure
Exhibits
-
Wherigo
-
Locationless
- Project
APE
How do you
track your caches? There are three options:
-
Create a bookmark list and keep
track
-
Upload your My Finds PQ to
It's Not
About The Numbers
-
Use FizzyMagic's
FindStats
Program (requires download)
Basic rules (to
keep things easy)
-
All PREVIOUS cache
finds DO count - you do NOT start from "0" at this
point
-
All finds
(except the Event
and CITO Events)
must be on caches that were
Published BEFORE this cache (June 14th, 2009)
(to avoid "dummy caches" being
listed just to meet the requirements)
-
Though
the cache title on these types mention a specific state, your finds
can be in any state or country.
-
No rating changes of existing caches will be accepted as
counting towards your goal
-
Generally
accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging a cache find
apply
-
These must be
caches listed on Geocaching.com that you have personally
(physically) found and logged
-
No logging
finds on caches you own will be allowed
-
If you have
others with you when you find the final cache, only those who have
fulfilled ALL criteria for this cache will be allowed to log it as
a find.
Finds without the proper back-up will be deleted
-
This cache
does not count as the 5/5 in the matrix. You must find a 5/5
before this one
-
Caches hidden but
never intended to meet their D/T rating are ineligible. They're
pretty obvious.
- NOTE: All caches
logged as FOUND for this challenge cache must have been placed by
the owner with genuine intent to meet the requirements of their D/T
(Difficulty/Terrain) rating as outlined on
Geocaching.com.
Please follow these rules to maintain a
level playing field for everyone. Please keep the spirit of
The Challenge in mind.
Please keep to these simple rules
to keep things fun for everybody.
To get credit
for this find (and keep your find from being deleted) you must post
one of the following with your found log:
-
A link to a bookmark list
showing all the caches that meet the requirements;
OR
-
A link to your page on
ItsNotAboutTheNumbers showing your finds.
-
You can
check and validate your current finds by a few ways. Please
be aware, though, these methods will not check against the date
cutoff requirement
-
The final cache location is a
2/2.5. The 5/5 for the overall cache rating is based on the need to
find a 5/5 to qualify to log this cache.
If you have already completed and logged THE FIZZY CHALLENGE
elsewhere, you are welcome here as well!
