Restricted (100w, single-element antennas) sections.

Select the "Commonwealth Contest" template
Work UK and Commonwealth countries only. There are no
multipliers, but bonus points of 20 points, by band, for
the first three QSOs with each Call Area.
Exchange Serials. HQ stations add "HQ". UK entrants
must be RSGB members and may not work one another for
points.
For Commonwealth callsigns or prefixes, SD displays
an instant band/bonus analysis below the callsign.
No analysis appears for for non-Commonwealth calls
(zero pointers). This serves as a validity check
if you're not familiar with all the Commonwealth
call areas.
When you work HQ stations, type HQ in the same field
as the serial. For example, SD logs 21HQ as 021 HQ
in their respective fields.
After the contest, use SDCHECK to prepare your Cabrillo
log, and upload it at www.rsgbcc.org/cgi-bin/hfenter.pl
