The CR3L Team should reconsider their decision to change from M/2 to M/M. Their
clear intent was to enter M/2 and posting their score on 3830 as such
immediately following the CQWW CW is evidence they most likely complied with
all applicable rules for a M/2 entry. It was only post-contest was it evident
there was an opportunity to win M/M.
In my opinion, which seems to run with the majority based upon the dozens of
comments made on this forum, the CR3L decision to change entry categories at
the 11th hour, apparently to secure a winning score in the M/M entry class, is
unsportsmanlike and offensive. The CR3L team deserves to bare the brunt of the
nearly universal negative commentary having taken this action. Yes, what was
done is allowed under the rules, but going down this path is well outside the
spirit of fair competition.
I hope the CR3L team will reconsider what they have done and proceed to seek an
administrative entry class change back to M/2 through negotiation with the CQ
Contest Committee Chairman.
It is not to late to correct this wrong......it would be the class right thing
to do under this circumstance.
