Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!

I only found one cache during the week so I could save my first CITO event (GC1F7F0) for my 200th find! In honor of my milestone, I made this 16x16 XTreme Sudoku cache with 200 missing numbers!

I have also recently discovered challenge caches and love them! This is my own version of a mini challenge cache, hence the tournament, since you have to beat my previous games to get enough missing numbers to actually make this solvable! Ha ha ha... good luck!

There will be more mini tournaments which will be requirements of my Championship cache (yet to come) to finish off "the games".

Each row, column, 4x4 block, and highlighted diagonal must have numbers 1 - 16 without repeats!
