One of the most frustrating activities with checking contest logs has to
do with club names. To illustrate this - here are some club names that
might all be from the same club:
5255609 45 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB
1162369 13 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB (BCC)
1048526 2 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB - BCC
256754 3 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB BCC
23052 1 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB, BCC
445932 2 BAVARIAN-CONTES-CLUB (BCC)
30073 1 BAVARIEN CONTEST CLUB
319440 2 BC DX CLUB
3473644 28 BCC
34599 2 BCC (BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB)
2682214 8 BCC - BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB
691972 5 BCC BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB
28644 1 BCC, BAVARIN CONTEST CLUB
163482 1 BCDX CLUB
8664 1 BDXC
This will probably take about 30 mintues to fix.
One idea I have been toying with is somehow assigning a numeric ID for
any club that wants one and having them use that. At least that way,
the spelling will mostly be the same.
In the mean time - it would reall help if people could try to come up
with a standard way to enter a club name - and try to get their members
to follow it. That would save the poor log checker a LOT of time.
The risk is that some versions of the club name will not be recognized
and part of your club score won't count.
