Anyway this kind rule was used all ready for WRTC 2006 in Brasil
and it was called "WRTC Code of ethic"
it was not published in WRTC rules but some of TL
were not able to participate since they were reclassified,
not in scores or DQ in some contest years before!
Fabio for you better option was to wrote to WRTC board you were not
part of the team and your name came by accident on operators list!
And to provide some airplane tickets they can confirm you were not
at that time in Italy!
This was working at least for one WRTC competitors in Russia anyway! :)

Betreff: Re: [CQ-Contest] My RED CARD - IT9GSF
Hello, Fabio -
Thank you for your email. I received your direct email yesterday morning,
and was unable to respond immediately. I see that you have now chosen to air
this issue publicly on CQ-Contest, thus I will respond publicly.
First, congratulations on your excellent scores from the II9T and II9P
stations. I know how hard it is to build a competitive contest station, and
you can be proud of your successes. I also compliment you on inviting guest
operators to share your stations and bringing new ops into multi-ops.
I am sorry to hear that your team received a Red Card in the 2012 CQWW SSB.
I am sure that the CQWW Contest Committee took this action only after
carefully considering all the available data (I am a member of the CQWW
Committee, but was not involved in any of the Card decisions).
As you know, the rule regarding WRTC ineligibility for operators who have
received Red Cards or equivalent disqualification from any Qualifying Event
was added for the 2010 WRTC in Russia. This is a very good rule, and insures
that all Team Leaders and Team Members have obeyed the rules and are careful
with their log submissions.
Submitting a log correctly is a part of entering a contest. This rule was
enforced impartially in Russia and is being enforced impartially for
WRTC2014. There was at least one Russian operator who was unable to compete
in WRTC2010 in his homeland due to receiving a Red Card. I am sure that this
was a difficult decision for the WRTC2010 organizers and a great
disappointment for that operator.
This rule is in place for all potential Team Leaders and Team Members.
You and Matteo are not the only operators who received Red Cards and are not
eligible for WRTC2014. Suggesting that there is a conspiracy against IT9GSF
and IZ3EYZ is ridiculous and is an insult to the
WRTC2014 Board of Directors and to K5ZD and to me.
WRTC2014 will not make exceptions to the eligibility rule, and will not ask
contest sponsors to change their decisions on cards. We rely on the
integrity and fairness of the contest sponsors to make the correct decisions
regarding their entries. In your case, I note in your original message:
"I then did the bad thing; I changed some times in some QSOs...
I now know this thing was enough to disqualify me, and all the members
of the team, from the CQWW SSB 2012. I know it is a very bad thing. "
Yes, it was a very bad thing. It was a deliberate violation of the rules,
and not an accident.
I am sorry that you and Matteo will not be eligible to enter WRTC2014 as
competitors. I hope you will get on the air and provide lots of QSOs and
multipliers for the competing stations and submit a log that we can use for
cross-checking. I wish you continuing success and high scores at your new
station, and wish you the best for qualifying for future WRTCs.
73,
Doug K1DG
President, WRTC2014
