[WRTC2006] WRTC2010 TL Selection Critiera - Addl. Questions

[Richard DiDonna NN3W]

I'm fully aware that my score is compared to another station in my same 
geographic area.  But theoretically, I could run off to the South Pacific, 
make 1.5 million points and win the geographic area 8 times, and I could 
then apply that score to my easy coast entry.
