I have been having fun with cache chains - Caches that are linked within a specific distance from each other - and would like to add some challenges.

A number of checkers exist for this type of challenge.

For 5KM chains there are two checkers
https://project-gc.com/Challenges//47926
https://project-gc.com/Challenges//45132

The difference between them is that the first one shows a point to point polygon all along the chain.
The second checker shows a polygon to the extreme edges of the chain.

I am looking to create a 20KM challenge and have found:
https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7Y379/37436

This checker shows the extreme edges (version 2 above)

I would love to use the point to point polygons (version 1) at the 20KM distance.

When looking at the Tag Config to see the difference - the 5km point to point has an extra tag.

""polygon": "concave"," 

That tag does not exist on either of the "edge only" checkers. 

I have no idea how to create a new checker - but seems like the 20 km checker is already built and that adding the concave tag to it would get me exactly what I need.

Can someone create a new checker variation using https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7Y379/37436 as the base and then add the concave tag to it to make a new checker?

Thanks in advance.

If you need help creating a challenge checker, then you need to write a message at https://project-gc.com/forum/list?8 in order to reach the voluntary checker writers.
