If the "no run" format is "The Answer" then Sprint ought to have thousands
and thousands of players (like CQWW does).

QSO/QSY

and many many reasons more....

Not only NA Sprint is "...the most fun you can have in 4 hours with your
clothes on..." according to N6TR, but also it is THE REAL McCOy of
contesting.

I even entered NA sprints a couple of times from LU-land with just 100w and
a low inverted V. Despite it was a part time entry, it was one of the most
thrilling contests I've ever entered. Because of all reasons listed above.

Even if CQ WW goes the QSO/QSY route more and more people will continue to
enter. Because it is a whole lot more fun, fair and challenging.

P.S.: Two frequencies 5 KHz apart or more ping ponging, should also be
avoided. Simply QSO/QSY. Otherwise big guns will simply alternate running
on two frequencies 5KHz apart or more.
