"The guidelines do state that Events should be open to all cachers." But in fact the participation on events is everytime filtered by Difficulty/Terrain, Interests, Destination from HC, etc., although they are published according valid guidelines. Why not by completing a task? Everybody can complete this task, if wants. It is open for everybody. I don´t see there any essential difference.
The argument that someone can finally come to completely another place could be treated by the publishing guidelines, E.g. by a geochecker. The task will be completed in advance and everybody can than consider, if such an event attract him or not. As I know, in this case, which minulo describes, geocachers should first complete the multicache and in final box they will find the coordinates of event. It cannot happens that they get wrong coordinates. And if the event is published a month before, there is time enough to complete this task and to make decision to go for it or not.
Guidelines were created by geocachers community and should be adjusted by it according the actual development to bring the cachers more fun, joy, pleasure and challenges. There should be minimum restrictions and prohibitions. In the end of the day when the owner wants to make his event more complicated, let him do it. He takes the responsibility, if anybody comes or he will play alone.
