The team selection criteria was spelled out by the WRTC 2002
folks on June 5th 2001.
You can find it here:
http://www.wrtc2002.org/teams1.htm
This team would appear to be:
"The Organizer's Wild Card Team" as listed under the Special Teams section.
I dont see a problem with this - they are only doing what they planned to do.
Besides N6ZZ and K1ZM are compenent operators.

Like K5KG I find myself using packet during several contests and whenever I
tune past a station as he signs I type in his callsign...if it is a dupe
rather than just F11 I hit Alt-F3 (think that is it) to spot that station to
the cluster...mebbe the next guy will not stop there as it pops up on his
band map! I know I will spot the same guy many times during a contest...but
I do not keep mental note of this - that is what the machines are for.
This is not a slam on your observations...I find them interesting and the
thought of self spotting makes me sick...kind of like the unqiue principal
though - it should only be used as a POSSIBLE indicator of foul play... if a
guy gets spotted a lot more power to him as long as he ain't doin' it...he
is a "beacon" which ultimately your winners should be - never knew anyone
who S&P'd their way to #1!
In case you were getting ready to tune up for the next major contest - it is
the Florida QSO Party on April 27 & 28 - tweak your antennas for max gain
into Florida - we will be waiting for you! Follow the mobile teams as they
amass QSOs criss-crossing Florida.
15 days until FQP 2K2 - Florida fixed stations and mobiles please check into
the website and notify NS4W of your plans to activate which county(ies).
Check out the website at:
http://www.qsl.net/fqp/
Most of the counties have turned from Green to Orange - looks like more
clean sweeps will be available this year! Handsome certificates and plaques
are awarded each year - check out last years results and the rules and
records for the FQP at the above site - DEFINITELY READ THE EXCELLENT
WRITEUP BY K1TO, contest log crunching don't get any better!
FQP 2K2 - thanks to YOU we're running 'em!
