See my ARRL DX Phone writeups between 2003 (or something) and 2013 - we had an excellent team of authors providing regional analysis from each ARRL Division and for the non-NA continentals. The final PDF ran over 100 pages some years! Even Spanish-language translations were available for Central and South America. Obviously, you noticed this massive writeup effort :-)

Sarcasm aside, as the managing editor for ARRL contest writeups, I can tell you that the ARRL is willing to provide final scoring data to any author who is willing to work with his or her IARU society to publish local or regional results. Or write up their ARRL Division or ARRL Section results. Perhaps with all this discussion about regional recognition, some motivated authors will come forward. Any of the ARRL contest writeup results would benefit from having a separate regional analysis. The writeup could either be packaged with the online results or, at minimum, a link to the writeups could be published. The only requirement is that the author work with the local IARU society. Any takers? Contact me off-list and let's talk.

Maybe the ARRL should take his advice and start promoting these regional
winners and DE-emphasing the overall winner.
