With claimed scores data from 3830@contesting.com and final scores it is pretty
easy to check the error rate from QSO deduction or (point deduction) and score
reduction.
Looking of the examples pointed out in this e-mail thread:
for CN2R
QSO reduction = 1,0%
Score reduction 3,9%
for K5ZD/1 (op N5RZ)
QSO reduction = 1,5%
Score reduction 6,6%
for D4B
QSO reduction = 3,7%
Score reduction 9,5%
with the current "heavy" penalty for bad QSO ruling that the entrant looses the
QSO point of the bad call + 3 * the QSO point of the bad call, it pays to be
accurate.
