Hi

How to synchronize the publication of a caches serie with the publication of Earth cache?

Thanks

Talk to your volunteer reviewer.

 

For reference, from the guidelines:

 

Placing a large number of geocaches to be published on the same date requires advanced planning.

Submit the cache listings at least ten days in advance of the requested release date. Post a Note to Reviewer on the cache listings requesting that the caches be published on the date specified. Reviewers will strive to accommodate reasonable requests. Caches placed in connection with an event must be left in place after the event. See "Geocache Permanence" above.

The Earthcache will be reviewed by a different person, one of the GeoAware accounts, than the physical caches, and likely will require more time.

You need to ask each of the two reviewers separately and set up arrangements for publishing your caches when all of them are ready. Per the listing guidelines, all your caches should be submitted at least 10 days in advance of the desired publication date. Since it will be your first earthcache, I'd allow more than ten days -- maybe 2 or 3 weeks in case there is a lot of back and forth needed with the GeoAware. I see you've found almost 50 earthcaches so that should help you in preparing a good earthcache.

Definitely allow for more time. First time Earthcache submissions can seem a bit difficult at times. Although you have found a pretty good number of Earthcaches, a number of them are older submissions, and the Earthcache Guidelines have had a few revisions since some of them were Published. I recommend looking over the following Help Center articles in addition to the Earthcache Guidelines:

 

Creating an Earthcache

 

Additional Tips

 

Limiting Some Earthcache Topics

 

Probably the top reasons I have to reject an Earthcache submission are:

 

1. It's not focused on the geology (or the geology is totally absent).

2. Permission from the Land Owner/Manager is missing.

3. Logging Requirements are either inadequate, not pertaining to the geology, or not allowed (i.e. I still see a few picture requirements submitted).

 

Don't base your submission on what you may have Found in the past. If you must use an active Listing as a guide, try and find one that has been Published within the last year. That would more realistically represent the current standard and expectation.

 

The following is just my 2 Euros, but if it were me, I'd post a request to the Local Earthcache Reviewer on the Listing page, if it would be OK for your regular Local Reviewer to handle the actual Publication, after the official Review is complete. Having one person do the actual mechanics of Publishing all the Listings together sounds like less things could go wrong to me.
