This is one of the misconceptions about Cabrillo - there is no scoring info
expected in the file. It is not a scored log - rather it is intended as
raw QSO data. The log checkers re-calculate the score after checking.
I do the log checking for the ARRL 160 and 10 meter contests. We use the
"score" field only as a rough check against the final score that we
calculated. Even then, you would be amazed at how some logging programs
mis-calculate the final score, sometimes by hundreds of thousands of
points, and this is in a contest with scoring rules which have been in
place for decades.
The point here is that I would not worry about fixing up your score in a
Cabrillo file.
