Ah, again we have someone who has never competed in a Sprint at the top-10 level 
making pronouncements about its relevance in the WRTC selection criteria. Your 
statement "...moving mults are seriously tested in the compressed 4 hour Sprint 
format" proves this. Anyone who has developed even a minimal competency in 
operating the Sprint would know that mults count once-per-contest, so there is 
no value in moving mults. Also, moving a station would probably challenge the 
Sprint "Special QSY Rule".
