How do you enforce such a distinction? What is to stop me from running
for 1/2 hour, S&P for 1/2 hour and still getting 2 pts per Q? I have heard
some lulu's here but this one just about takes the cake for being in the
"let's make everybody happy by giving them a category they can shine in"
category. On the enforcement, with almost open and shut cases of self-spotting,
we can't get that rule enforced. This will be almost as hard to enforce as
stopping guys from submitting QRP scores while running 100w.
