Thanks Ed,


I just thought I would see if there was any particular reason for the way it is. I am the first one to tout a sponsors choice to make the rules and if you don't like them, just don't participate. Just wondered if there was some reasoning behind the category choices.

Hi Phil.

Contests are not all identical and I think the diversity is a good thing for
our contests throughout the year.  NAQP is not "shortened".  It is simply a
12-hour contest.  Or, if you prefer, consider it "lengthened" from NA
Sprint.

It doesn't need to have the same rules and entry categories as other
contests.  The only multi-op category in NAQP is M2.  That's not bad or
good, it's just what the rules are.  M2 is like SO2R without the interlock
restriction and with two or more operators allowed.

If someone can direct me to any previous threads about this it would be
appreciated.

My question is why isn't there a Multi Single category for the NAQP
contests. I would love to have a couple ops here to try and run the test
but don't want to try and set up a whole separate station for what
amounts, I think, to a shortened contest. I suppose we could do it and
enter as a Multi 2 but it would be nice if we at least thought we were
competing.


I don't ever remember anyone discussing this but the flame suit is on if
I missed it.


Thanks
