WPX does not have a TB/wires category. They have a Tribander / Single
element antenna category. A tribander is very carefully defined, and
it's reasonably clear what a single element antenna is.
Even so, there's room for abuse with this definition. For example,
someone with an 80m /75m OWA dipole wouldn't be disqualified from
this category, because his dipole has more than one element.
On the other hand, if someone built a 450 foot 80m collinear
vertical, that wouldn't disqualify them.

And the guy who got nothing but rhombics pointed in every direction
on his 40 acres will dominate this category....
