But there is a significant rule difference:

In NAQP you have to stay on a band for ten minutes.

I'm not personally experienced with the optimum strategy under current NAQP rules, but from perusing past results it seems that NAQP multis often do
poorly in the number of multipliers on marginally open bands.

That is somewhat true, and a direct result of the 10 minute band change rule. It isn't worth it to work 1 multiplier on, lets say, 10 meters, and be stuck there for 10 minutes while you could be working 20 stations on an active band.
True somewhat, But if you have say 1000 Q's right now, and you work that one guy on Ten, you just gained 1000 more points for that ten minutes. What are the odds against you working on that original band 1000 points in that ten minutes?
