The problem with that is what if your plan was to do a mono band effort
like 10 meters only, and the sun does it's thing not in a good way.
Do you now automatically pack it up and go watch TV now? Since you cant
change your declaration.

Based on existing rules, they do qualify for either category. However,
it is a sleazy thing to do. Other sports are irrelevant to this
situation.
Only thing that can be done is change the rules for future events,
such as requiring declaring a category up front.

Is there any other sport where a competitor can start in one
category, then in the middle of the race...or even after the
race...change their entry category.
I can't think of one, which seems to indicate such action is
unsportsman-like at best.

If you do a spot check on CR3L on the DX Summit you will see they
were never spotted on more than two bands at a time during the whole
contest weekend. If they were really Mult-Multi wouldn't you think
they would've been spotted more? Plus they had only 7 operators,
which is about what they've had in past years when running M2X.
Now category switching isn't illegal in the rules but don't you think
that integrity is on everyone's mind after what happened last year?
Maybe it should be added to the rules just like having a bad or wide
signal is.
Bad call CR3L team . Maybe you should provide an explanation like the
one we were all waiting for from UT5UGR last year. Maybe you had a
good reason for doing this?
