[Az-Geocaching] Geocaching: Team vs. Individual Statistics...

[Gale]

Most individuals team up for an outing. Many teams only have one real searcher with the rest just hanging around, as Jim Scotti mentioned. So I would say it all evens out.

As a solo cacher, I have personally turned every stone, printed every map, driven every cul-de-sac, fetched every new battery, handled every trinket, singed every log, etc.  Never had a second set of eyes.  Never had someone find caches for me while I was absent, never had someone else log my finds on the site.  Never had any assistance in finding my claims, period.
 
Teamwork is easier!  I believe it is MUCH easier for teams to find a given set of 25 caches than for an individual to do so.  
 
SO - I'd like to ask how other soloers out there feel about the "pureness" of team statistics as opposted to individual stats.  
 
It's my contention that geocaching.com should separate users into two groups - teams and individuals.  Just make that part of the profile that is visible to registered users and might be an interesting comparison item for some users...  Any thoughts?

I wanted to get more information about Geocaching teams.  What are they, what do they do?  How would I find more information about them in the Tucson area?
 
Thanks for the help,

Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking
 
Till a voice, as bad as Conscience, rang interminable changes
  On one everlasting Whisper day and night repeated -- so:
"Something hidden.  Go and find it. Go and look behind the Ranges --
  "Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go!"

 

Rudyard Kipling ,   The Explorer  1898
