Yep.
Even if you BYO folding one? :mrgreen: (Don't worry, I've already done table-tennis - just curious how far you can go with the requirements. I presume you mean fixed public picnic tables in parks)

I use the cache name and description. I would not see your log as being part of the description, so no it wouldn't qualify.

Hi. I'm just wanting to know, with regard to the Wrestling requirement, how do I get around the fact that if I post a photo of me wrestling over the cache container with another cacher, then I am effectively posting a spoiler on the cache page, since it clearly shows what the cache container looks like? I just got a photo this morning and was about to attach it to my log, but am reluctant to do so for that reason. :?: :?: :?:

I was going to make sure I got a photo where the cache container was not a specially made one. Just a sistema or similar so nothing much to give away as a spoiler. Otherwise, if the container is special, there is no need to see the container clearly, just to see the two of us fighting over "something". But if you alreay have your photo and it IS a special sort of container, you're a bit stuck I think!

It's a log that had the cache guardian (fake snake) inside and the cache guardian had the micro cache inserted in its head. I decided not to get the cache guardian/container on its own for the photo, since it seems there is supposed to be secrecy over the fact that the cache guardian is a snake, but the log that it is inside constitutes the "outer" container, which is why I got the photo of that. I only just realised that maybe, people will then look for that particular, smallish, log if I post the photo, although the hint for the cache says "what size log does a micro cache involve?", so the fact that it is in a log isn't really a spoiler...

For the Judo requirement where it says ....

"OR-- Non-Physical or Other type cache with a type Nano/Micro or Other"...

Can that other be "Not Chosen" or actually as it now listed on GC.com... "Virtual" ?

Am also presuming as it says "OR" before this part of the requirement that it is ok to be Diff 3 / Terrain 1 ? coz a) it says "OR" and b) it totals less than 2x2 anyway.

I can PM the actual cache I am thinking of if you want ...?

Yes.
2/2

==OR==
Type:
Non-Physical = 1 Point
Non-Physical: Any type that is Event, Mega Event, CITO, EarthCache, Virtual, WebCam, Locationless
Other = 2 Points
Other: Any type that is Project APE, Letterbox Hybrid, Moveable, TrigPoint, Wherigo
Container:
Other = 1 Point
Other: Any container that is not nano / micro, small, regular or large
Nano / Micro = 2 Points

Basically either combo needs to be 2/2 or less.
