One of the most frustrating activities with checking contest logs has to
do with club names.  To illustrate this - here are some club names that
might all be from the same club:

5255609     45 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB
1162369     13 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB (BCC)
1048526      2 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB - BCC
256754      3 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB BCC
23052      1 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB, BCC
445932      2 BAVARIAN-CONTES-CLUB (BCC)
30073      1 BAVARIEN CONTEST CLUB
319440      2 BC DX CLUB
3473644     28 BCC
34599      2 BCC (BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB)
2682214      8 BCC - BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB
691972      5 BCC BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB
28644      1 BCC, BAVARIN CONTEST CLUB
163482      1 BCDX CLUB
8664      1 BDXC

This will probably take about 30 mintues to fix.  

One idea I have been toying with is somehow assigning a numeric ID for 
any club that wants one and having them use that.  At least that way,
the spelling will mostly be the same.

In the mean time - it would reall help if people could try to come up 
with a standard way to enter a club name - and try to get their members
to follow it.  That would save the poor log checker a LOT of time.

The risk is that some versions of the club name will not be recognized
and part of your club score won't count.
