Mayoralties

This page contains information specific to Geocaching Australia.

Mayoralities are based on the concept from FourSquare.

If you are the cacher with the most GCA finds for a locale/state/country combination and that count is >= 10, then you are declared the mayor of that locale. If there is a draw for the same number of finds, the one who has the latest find gets to be mayor. i.e. The newcomer usurps the old guy.

Locationless caches and moveable caches do not contribute to the mayoral status as locationless don't have a location to be mayor of and moveable caches, well, move.

Examples. http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0804
Neribil has 10 GCA finds in Ulverstone and as the highest finder, gets to be the mayor.
You can see the current mayor next to the Mayoral Crown.

Are you a mayor yet?
Can you usurp the incumbent and take over the mayoral role for a locale?
