I find this rule stupifying. Why do we bother sending the Zone at all?
This reinforces what I've long felt about CQWW -- that it's the dumbest
contest going. ALL you have to copy is the other station's call -- the
rest of it is auto-filled from call history files and country files!

Like David said, CQWW says you should log the correct zone based on the
location, not what was send. Same thing with cut numbers used for CQ zone
numbers.
See:http://www.cqww.com/rules_faq.htm
This contradicts with the "log what was send" rule but it actually seems
fairly logical. If the other station doesn't submit his log, the logchecker
can not possibly know what was actually send but it does know what the
correct zone number should be based on the location of the station.
As others have asked, what happens when the other op does submit his log
with the wrong number? Then the log checker does know what was send over
the air.
