"I have been following this discussion for some time now, and have thefollowing 
questions:Where exactly in the rules does it prohibit grid circling?  Where is 
part 97does it prohib this practice?  What exactly does make it unethical?73s

Look at it like this. Most rovers opperate indipendent of each other, but when 
they team up in a group they increase thier score expontially.  
 
Compare it to this. You are a wieght lifter and toy can dead lift 800 pounds by 
your self.
You then find yourself competing against a team of 4 wieght lifters that can 
lift 2500 lbs as a team of 4.
You then get upset and say that is a different event, but the judges  still 
gives each man credit for 2500 lbs per individual.  
Later the judge fixes the rules and trys to put the team in a differnt 
catagory.  But they still work a limited amount of contacts with just a few 
people to inflate thier score as a team and post victories in 3 different rover 
classes.
 
So if there is true sportmanship in this event there needs to be a line drawn 
between teams and non teams for rovers just as there is for stationary 
stations. They broke no rules, the rules are broken.
 
I suppose if you are upset enough write the contesting committee dirrectly.
