Overview - This is a summary of the operator selection criteria and evaluation formulas for WRTC-2010. Each competitor may submit up to eight results from the contests in section 1. Each result is calculated according to sections 2 through 4. Application criteria and team distribution are described in sections 5 through 8. The process by which results will be accepted and competitors chosen will be announced at a later date. A preliminary summary of the WRTC-2010 competition rules follows section 8.

 

1. Contest listing - scores from the following contest may be used to calculate results for the selection process

CQWWCW         2006    2007    2008            3

CQWWSSB        2006    2007    2008            3

RDXC                 2007    2008    2009        3

WAE CW            2006    2007    2008            3

WAE SSB        2006    2007    2008            3

CQWPXSSB            2007    2008            2

CQWPXCW            2007    2008            2

IARU            2006    2007    2008            3

ARRL CW            2007    2008            2

ARRL SSB            2007    2008            2

EUHFC                2007    2008            2     EU only

NA Sprint CW (1 per year)        2007    2008            2    NA only

NA Sprint SSB (1 per year)        2007    2008            2    NA only

 

*(EU = 28 contests; US = 34 contests; Others = 26 contests)

 

2.
Contest weight - This represents the maximum result that can be obtained from a contest score.

 

Contest Maximum result

 

CQWW (CW & SSB)        950

RDXC                910

EUHFC                850    for EU

WPX (CW & SSB)            740

IARU                740

WAE (CW & SSB)            730

SS (CW & SSB)            700    for NA

ARRL (CW & SSB)            660    for NA

NA Sprint (CW&SSB)        600    for NA

ARRL (CW&SSB)            620    for DX

RHFC (M/S)            1000    for Russia only

 

3. Category factor - These factors based on entry category are applied to the contest's maximum result to account for differences in competitiveness and activity level

 

SO-AB	SO-Assisted	SO-Single mode in Mixed-mode contests	LP	MS	M2	MM (incl. HQ)
1,0	0,7	0,8	0,7	0,9	0,8	0,7

 

SO-QRP and SO-Single Band scores will not be counted towards selection for WRTC-2010.

 

 

 

 

 

4. Formula for calculation of results from each contest

 

Nominee score in the contest

Nominee result = Contest weight x Category factor x ------------------------------------------------------------------------

                     Maximum score in nominee category from selection area

 

 

Example calculation:

RX3ZZ receives a score of 1.2 Mpts in WPX CW (weight = 740 points) as a SO-LP entry (category factor = 0.7). The maximum score in SO-LP in RX3ZZ's selection area (see section 8 of this document) was 1.35 Mpts. RX3ZZ may submit the following result from this contest:

 

    740 x 0.7 x (1.2 Mpts / 1.35 Mpts) = 460.4 points

 

If "Maximum score in nominee category from selection area" is lower than the highest score in any lower category from the same selection area, substitute the higher score as the reference score:

 

 

Nominee score in the contest

Nominee result = Contest weight x Category factor x ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------                     Maximum score in lower category from selection area

 

Category order: MM, M2, MS, SOAB-Assisted, SOAB, SOAB-Single Mode, SOAB-LP

 

Example calculation:

RZ3XYZ club receives a score of 3.8 Mpts in WPX CW (weight = 740 points) as M2 entry (category factor = 0.8). The maximum score in M2 in RZ3XYZ club's selection area was 4.9 Mpts, but this score is lower than score of RA3AAA who made 8.5 Mpts in SOAB category in the same RZ3XYZ contest area. RZ3XYZ may submit the following result from this contest:

 

740 x 0.8 x (3.8 Mpts / 8.5 Mpts) = 264.6 points

 

* SELECTION AREA - an area of applicant's permanent residence

** for US – an area (within mentioned borders) of applicant permanent residence (driver license, FCC license)

 

DX QTH scores (scores made outside an operator's home selection area) are evaluated against the top score in the selection area from which the score was made. For example, if W1ABC (home selection area US Area 1) operates from KP1, receives points from evaluating the score against other scores from Central America and not against scores from US Area 1.

 

5.
Conditions for team leader (TL)

 

1) A TL must have permanent residence (a valid passport) in the country he (she) applies to represent and at the time of all contests for which results are submitted. When the TL has residence in two or more countries, he (she) may only represent one of them.

2) Total result     =     sum of 8 best results calculated as in section 4 of this document

3) MS/M2/MM    -    no more than 4 results may be submitted

4) MS/M2/MM    -    no more than 2 team members may submit results for a single contest for MS, 3 for M2, 5 for MM

5) DX QTH    -     no more than 4 results may be submitted

 

6. Conditions for team mate (TM)

 

TM must have permanent residence of the same country as their TL and from the date of the first submitted contest result.

Exception: TL from African, Asian (others), Central American or Pacific (others) entity can choose TM from another country, but from the same selection area.

 

7. Referees.

 

Each TL will nominate a referee candidate for WRTC-2010. That candidate (along with volunteers from the contesting public) will be placed on a referee nomination list. From that list, referees will be selected and assigned to teams.

During the competition, the team referee must be from a different country than that of the team and can not be the one which is nominated by that team.
