Perhaps you've misunderstood.

Even though the ARRL publishes the NCJ, the ARRL does not determine the 
content ofthe NCJ.  The editor of QST is not the editor of the NCJ, and
the contest administrators at the NCJ are separate from the Contest Branch
of the ARRL.  I don't think there's any plan to have NCJ publish ARRL
contest results.
