I wasn't very clear, sorry.  I'd rather leave the existing scoring and
rules in place as they are today and add a test/mega/unlimited rover
category for the biggest stations/teams to compete against each other.
 I believe that each of them would have readily entered the mega
category if one existed.  And that's all the change required to end
the skewing of the rover scores in my opinion.
