Caching Records
Some cachers have an interest in challenging themselves by trying for a caching record. The most obvious of these is to try and find the most caches in a single day.
Previous Record Holders
Most found in 24 hours
The record holders for the most caches found in 24 hours in Australia are:
- Rabbitto found 33 on 20th November 2004 (Victoria)
- teamkittens found 43 on 1st January 2005 (Victoria)
- Rhinogeo and Facitman found 44 on 8th February 2005 (Victoria)
- team Horizons found 53 at the Dubbo Gold Rush, June 2005 (NSW)
- Rabbitto found 56 on 12th March 2005 (Victoria)
- Acts2youthgroup found 77 on 7th October 2005 (Victoria)
- HawMorFords found 101 on 16th September 2006 (Victoria)
Current state records
- SA - 73 - Beakers Bunch (8 Oct 06)
- TAS - 36 - Aloysius7 & Prunes (2 Sep 06)
- VIC - 101 - HawMorFords (16 Sep 06)
- QLD - 62 - Bundyrumandcoke (5 Oct 06)
- NSW - 53 - Team Horizons (11 Jun 05)
- WA - 26 - nobodyZ (6 May 06)
- ACT - 23 - acts2youthgroup (14 Aug 06)
Highest Daily Score
A daily score is defined as the total sum of the product of difficulty and terrain, which could be expressed as DAILY SCORE = SUM (DIFFICULTY * TERRAIN)
The current record holders for this are yet to be determined.
Guidelines
The following is a set of suggested guidelines for claiming a record.
- A record must occur in a single 24 hour period,
- caches can all be given the same log date on the internet for statistics purposes.
- All cache types can be included in the attempt;
- Any locationless can only be claimed once.
- Anyone assisting with any of the finds is part of 'The Team'.
- At least one particular member of The Team must visit every cache,
- This particular team member must actively assist in every cache find.
- Only one member of the team needs to locate the cache ie. not everyone in the group needs to independently find the box!
- No member of the team may have found the cache previously.
- No pre-finding or scouting of physical waypoints can occur by any members of the team prior to the attempt;
- Teams are allowed to skip waypoints on multi's, provided they are not using knowledge garnered prior to the attempt.
- Research (other than visiting physical waypoints) may be done prior to the day, eg: solving a puzzle cache based upon information on the cache page.
- The team may not seek any support for finding the cache;
- No phone a friend calls for hints, locations or even DNF confirmations;
- No advice on the location of particular caches can be sought from other cachers prior to the attempt.
- A DNF is a DNF, no cache no find. The team may not place a replacement cache for a lost cache then claim a find.
- For physical caches, The Team must sign the logbook, a stamp or sticker can be used;
- consider adding find number and time of find;
- in some form, the log needs to show the team name, date of find etc.
- The listing site is unimportant. If a cache is listed on multiple sites, it can only be claimed once.
- GCA and GC caches are equally valid for a record run.
