6. Qualification Score Calculation
The qualification score is the sum of up to 12 Event Scores. The maximum
possible qualification score is 12.000 for DL, 11.900 for the rest of
the world.
1. A maximum of 4 Event Scores may be from multi-ops (MS/M2/MM).
2. A maximum of 4 Event Scores can be from outside an applicant’s home
Selection Area (i.e., DXpeditions).
3. A maximum of 2 operators may submit scores for a single contest from
a MS, 3 from a M2, and 4 from a MM.
4. If an operator’s callsign appears with more than one entry in a
single qualifying event (e.g., from operating at more than one
station), they may not use any scores from that contest.
5. In the unlikely case of a tie score for the final qualifying spot in
a Selection Area, the applicants will be asked for additional scores
beyond those submitted on the application until the tie is broken.
As long as you operate a station in your own qualification area as a SO
it counts. That would ether be from home OR as a guest operator. That's
how you could qualify without having a station at home.

What if you had no home station, let alone a tribander with wires, could you
qualify then?

Yes, this was the first time one could qualify using low power.
Notwithstanding you have to have big antenna farm because even in Low
power category there were a lot of competitors. And yes, some of those
who have big stations did bother with doing low power. Tribander and
wires from the city lot is not enough to qualify for WRTC regardless of
power.

It's possible to qualify by doing low power. Your score would be
compared to others that are doing low power and not the high power
scores. If you do that you won't have to compete again the "big gun"
stations in your region. Plus you aren't getting any reduction in
score ( getting the same number of points same as HP SO guys) like
someone who did Multi-Ops. I really doubt someone who has a big
station would want to bother with doing low power.
If I'm not mistaken Julio, AD4Z, who is one of the team leaders in our
region (NA-002) did this and qualified.

I think what’s most interesting is the guys I know who typically win
don’t spend a lot of time complaining... they spend a lot of time
working at what makes them winners.
I can also think of some people who won/win that don’t have deep
pockets at all.
Some of the best operators don’t actually have big stations. Not
taking away from the big station owners at all, as some of them are
great operators themselves. However, many are willing to let the
latest up and coming great operators take their station seats to show
what can be done.
It makes sense to me because it takes a lot of time and effort to
either build or work to pay for others to build something expensive.
That same time is thus not spent on honing operating skills.
Very similar to how many athletes aren’t rich until after (and not
for all) they have worked so very hard to win and are given noteriety.
If a guy wants to remote or travel into my area and he beats me, so
be it... time for me to get better. Or maybe I don’t want to put in
the same operating skills effort that he did and thus I’ll just hope
he doesn’t return.
Competition is great... it shows how hard we are willing to work, or
not.

I have a somewhat different perspective, being an Ohio snowbird who
spends half the year in Florida. As a practical matter I could not
qualify without a lot of travel or remote operating from W8. And I’m
not that stupid to head north from Florida in February :-)
I had my shot at WRTC in 2014 (as N1U with partner K9NW), but I
didn’t compete to qualify for 2018, and don’t see me trying to
qualify for future WRTCs, so don’t take these comments as being self
serving.
If a W6 resident wants to operate from W1, let him do so, comparing
his scores with other W1 entrants. And conversely, if a guy living in
W1 is crazy enough to want to operate CQWW from W6, thinking the
qualifying competition there might be less, why stop him? Again,
compare his W6 score with other W6 scores, and let the WRTC
qualifying points go into his home W1 account.
So long as a person is a legitimate resident of his qualifying area,
why stop him from operating from anywhere in the world, whether in
person or remotely? I don’t have a problem to allow someone like
LZ4AX to qualify from W3, but I would not let people become
“Africans” solely by virtue of a bunch of operating from zone 33.

Hi,
I agree....where you operate _from_ should determine what region you
compete in. A W6 in California operating a remote station on the
East coast
should not be grouped with other East coast stations to qualify
for WRTC.
This remote category is getting out of hand.
