Hi to all,

I hope that some comments will be considered and Team selection criteria will be changed a bit?

For me and all contesters whom I discussed with, obvious problem is having to short selection period.

Ranking 12 contests , and making selection criteria in the way that mostly SOAB are to be done is to much. Organizer counts seasons 2015/2016, and not counting 2017? None of us can't see reasonable explanation for such decision. We all suffered for qualifying for WRTC 2014 in Boston, dedicating ourself to make 12 good scores, and we had 3 years for it. It was really hard - ask anyone from EU or USA who did it. Now we have only two years for same number of contests?

I have station capable to win and to assure place in qualification. I am enough dedicated to spend unreasonable amount of time for hobby, but honestly, it becomes to be so demanding and overmuch.

My proposal should be to:
-Extend qualification period on 2017
-Calculate eight best scores

It will give more chance to more contesters with average stations, and will demand not quantity of scores - will demand higher scores and quality. Simple.

I know that this will be probably ignored, but is is common opinion of many contesters and previous WRTC participants.

Also, as organizer has full right to make selection criteria whatever he likes, it is better to invite teams by whatever criteria you like, instead having bad selection criteria.

Now I am curious to see rules. Hope our German friends will be more open for rules with more rooms for technical improvements. Hope all will agree that this aspect of contesting is very important as well as operating skills?
