I consider running power in excess of allowed legal limits far more
sleezy than this. But this has been happening for a long long long time
and nothing has ever been done that I am aware of. I am sure that
everyone running a 77 Export is just coasting along at the 1.5k. Pretty
tempting to turn the knob when you can't bust that pileup.
Been to 30m? We have a limit of 200w. Most amps will do legal out and
many run far more than 200 watts. But that is a different can of worms
or is it?

Based on existing rules, they do qualify for either category. However,
it is a sleazy thing to do. Other sports are irrelevant to this
situation.
Only thing that can be done is change the rules for future events,
such as requiring declaring a category up front.

Is there any other sport where a competitor can start in one
category, then in the middle of the race...or even after the
race...change their entry category.
I can't think of one, which seems to indicate such action is
unsportsman-like at best.

If you do a spot check on CR3L on the DX Summit you will see they
were never spotted on more than two bands at a time during the whole
contest weekend. If they were really Mult-Multi wouldn't you think
they would've been spotted more? Plus they had only 7 operators,
which is about what they've had in past years when running M2X.
Now category switching isn't illegal in the rules but don't you think
that integrity is on everyone's mind after what happened last year?
Maybe it should be added to the rules just like having a bad or wide
signal is.
Bad call CR3L team . Maybe you should provide an explanation like the
one we were all waiting for from UT5UGR last year. Maybe you had a
good reason for doing this?
