I did not notice the NA sort of the raw scores until your post. This works well but with so many awards for US op's an additional US tab would be nice. The finial results will have a very nice sorting menu. Regarding the scoring, it is pretty unlikely that a US station will have the world high score in WPX, even in the major single band categories. It was worse before they changed the rules and gave a point for in country contacts. This made WPX a fun and strategic contest!

This early info is always a good deal for the contesting community, thank you.

But why can't there be a tab for "USA" top scores instead of lumping them in with "NA" where seven of the top ten were VE's ? It is all too obvious that the WPX scoring system is stacked against W/K stations competing against non-W/K. It is absurdly stacked
against W/K stations not on the East coast.

People contest for many reasons, but getting into the Top Ten is always a great feeling. If the contest playing field can't/won't be leveled, how about giving credit where it is due?
