Generally I have been very indifferent on the scoring as to my mind NA, AF,
EU, etc are in totally different categories and who cares how the other
continent is being scored.
But looking at the CQWW MM claimed scores this year I suddenly find us
having a really great competition with K3LR and W3LPL. Isn't that wonderful?
Looking at EU/US MM top 10 (below) I conclude that the scoring is totally
fair. EU and US are mixed and all depends on the conditions and the effort.
What else would be a better indicator of the level playing field than MM
scores??

Attempts to introduce scoring changes for other areas of the world was
included as a question topic in the 2013 CQ WW participant survey. Review
the voting results and the comments in the pdf file at
http://cqww.com/blog/?p=150
The first level challenge is to define the problem (or even if there is
one). Then to define what the scoring should optimize. Only then can you
rationally discuss the options.
Maintaining the status quo is strong with reflector readers.
