[TOEC] Claimed Scores SAC CW 2006

Fri Nov 3 00:28:54 EST 2006

It is good to hear Jan that all my memory is not totally vanished :)
So it used to be the competition between national leagues until NRAU made a 
secret decision to list OH0 separately ;)

It propably doesn't matter if OH0 is separate entry or not, but for 
contesterts it would be good if it will be in the written rules. Because I 
think that in Finland generally  the most of the contesters (including those 
who travel to OH0 for SAC) have thought that OH0 scores count for Finland, 
not for Åland.
