Maybe V47NT spent a bit too much time focusing on the US? Would that not be
a strategy that one must consider?

This is how the scores would look on a perfect world 2 pts per Q..
Perhaps we can confirm the assumptions of the previous posts or still feel
that the scoring is unfair.
Standing New standing Old rank
1 EF8M
V47NT #2 NA
2 V47NT
CR2X #7 Eu
3 CR3E
EF8M #1 Af
4 8P5A
8P5A #4 NA

#12 NA
Interesting Ah? these are my remarks on the exercise:
a.. Top 5, 2 AFrica, 2 NA and one Europe.
a.. v47nt on top like it should, he was the better op in all respects
b.. CR2X great operator in a well engineered stn from 7 to #2 a deserved
spot
c.. EF8M Third. skilled operator from an advantaged location
d.. 8P5A a great op, Fair spot (he will win very soon)
e.. CR3E super op but with station not fully developed like Cr2X
f.. Np4z went from 11 to 6.. with a morale boost Hi Hi
g.. zs4tx on 7 th place previously on 5th with an incredible score from S.
africa
h.. VY2TT Amazing score from so hi up in NA.. good stn good op
i.. p49y good operator but with limited experience on ww
j.. VE2IM close to vy2tt, like it should, good ops with good loc in NA
k.. 4L0A What to say, another amazing score from Dick and rounding the
top 10
l.. 6w1RW good op, on good location but with very limited low bands
antennas
m.. ZC4T good op at a good loc with very small antennas Without having
significant prescence from Europe like other years is a little harder to see
how they would have played this year, having the likes of BLE, GI0KOW, Oe2s,
and other big European SO would have made it even more interesting surely
wished that Es5TV and 4O3A would have operated SO AB unassisted.
Good representation of the different continents still with 2 pts scoring.
Anyone to analize the multi ops or other point structure?

At least 95% of EF8DM's QSOs were worth 3 points, compared to V47NT in
which perhaps 40 %of his QSOs were with NA and only worth two points.
V47NT
(N2NT) decided to operate from a location he does not live as did RD3F.
For
whatever strategy reasons they decided on in being in these QTHs, they
produced great scores.
In 1983, WA6VEF at AI6V won CQWW SSB SOAB. Miracles do happen, but
that
was when there were lots of JA's to work. That could never happen today
with
the shift in active ham populations from JA to Europe. Still a great feat,
but one would never today try to repeat from California.
Africa is a long ways from the USA where a great percentage of the ham
population is located. 160 meter QSOs from the Caribbean into W6/W7 land
are quite common, not so with Africa. That is why the point difference.
The only fair scoring is what is used in the 160 meter Stew Perry
Contest,
and that will never happen in CQWW.
