[CQ-Contest] 2006 WAE CW - All 3830 Claimed Scores Question

[Art Searle W2NRA]

Hi,

 

In the All 3830 Claimed Scores posting I see EU entries where QTCs exceed
QSOs.  I also see non-EU entries where QTCs equal QSOs.  Given this rule:

 

Each QSO may only be reported once as a QTC. The QTC may not be reported
back to the original station.

 

How is this possible?  Wouldn't QSOs have to be at least 1 more than QTCs?
The only way I can see it being the same is if you called a station you
already worked and sent him one QTC.  But would that station get a QSO B4?

 

And I thought I understood this contest.
