[CQ-Contest] Self Spotting

[W3DMB at aol.com]

I heard that football owners are getting plans set for their teams for the 
next football season.  I suggest that going into this next season for the games 
this year each team should be spotted the point difference that they lost by 
last year..  That would bring parity to the season faster then trying to get a 
better team (or a better station).  But then do we want a level playing field 
or try to have everybody finish in a tie?   Nah.  Its to much like affirmative 
action for radiosport to considered.
