[CQ-Contest] Arbitrary rules - interpreted as discrimination

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

I think there is another contest that has an arbitrary rule that restricts 
participation.  You can't win the 10-10 contest unless you are a member of 
the 10-10 group...paid up to date of course.  You can have a 10-10 number to 
exchange, and can participate...but no certificate.

I was going to enter the contest that they have on Oct 10 because I thought 
it would be kind of cool to enter a contest in the middle of the week.  When 
I found out the rule, I thought it was rather strange.
