[WRTC2006] WRTC2010 TL Selection Critiera - Addl. Questions

[Alexander Avramov]

Rich,

if you go back to the rules and re-read them it would stop sound so 
reasonable. You are competing not against John's scores from P40W but 
against the points he earned after his score was normalized to the best 
score from that area - SA or Caribbean. Your score gets normalized to 
K5ZD's score :) And then you compare the points. As far as I see it, 
this procedure doesn't give John any advantage over you. Well, unless 
you think that down there the competition isn't that tough as it is here :)

73, Alex LZ4AX
