Without access to the UBN's (LCR's), the validity of an independent party
scoring a contest within a contest is questionable.

The grid-locator has not been removed from the CQ WW and WPX public logs. Not
all logs included this information, but for those that did, it appears in their
public log.
The grid-locator information was just added to the contest submissions (and to
the Cabrillo spec) in 2019.

basic scoring rules as an "open source" activity. Sponsor your own contest within a
contest that operates during the weekend and interfaces with the existing contesters but have your

logs to you for your own scoring and cross checking"

This is a very interesting idea. The CQWW and CQ WPX public logs are already
available in Cabrillo format, the ARRL DX logs in non Cabrillo format.
It would be interesting to see distance based scoring applied to the CQWW and
ARRL DX contests. Most interesting would be the CQ WPX with 1 point Q X mults
scoring.
The W3KM Cabrillo evaluator could be used (?) to rescore the top 50 logs in each
category. The only problem is the Maidenhead grid square has been removed from the public
logs for "privacy reasons", even though a grid square is 500 sq miles in size.
A website Realcontestscores.com could be set up.
Maybe the Top Ten results would all be the same. Maybe not.
Maybe when a few sunspots come back no one will care that coastal W1/2/3's
dominate the Top Ten. For now though I am considering hiring a social media PR
firm to promote my 2 hour 20M EU opening on 20M, Watch out W1/Maine, I'm coming
for you next year!
