So for our first event I listed all our boxes as event stamp and didn't realize it doesn't count for your finds.... Well.... yes and no. It doesn't count as finds for traditional boxes--but it does count towards finds of event boxes. AQ keeps track of...

"But the question isn't how do you list boxes to count them as finds--the question to ask is what kind of boxes did you create? Were they hidden out in the woods where people had to follow clues in order to find them? Then they should be listed as trad...

I've even gone so far as to not record finds on incorrectly-listed event boxes because I don't want them screwing up my F-counts. I do that too. I have a spreadsheet with "real totals" (which is sorely out of date, I am working on catching that up) whi...
