[WRTC2006] WRTC2010 TL Selection Critiera - Addl. Questions

[ku8e em bellsouth.net]

Why not just have the best 50 operators in the world as team leaders ...PERIOD.  If you don't think this is fair because people like W2GD and W2SC etc.. go on DXpeditions to up their scores then do what you have to do if you really want to go to WRTC. Go on a DXpedition to up your score.

I really never understood why this whole team selection has to be based on your geographical location anyway...
