[CQ-Contest] Get Rid of the Assisted Category

[Jamie Dupree NS3T]

Sorry guys - I messed up my own conclusions!  

Yes, the figures show that UN-assisted guys dominate.

My argument would be - even when you let the guys use spots
enter the same single op category - the UN-assisted ops  would do better.

My apologies for clouding things.  Get rid of the assisted category...
very little would change about who wins.

    simply combine them into a top 20.  Pretty simple.  What does it show?
    Other than in HP CW, the assisted operators score higher and dominate
    the top 20 combined standings.

  Jamie,

   
  Huh?  Am I reading your data wrong, or am I missing something?  It appears that the top assisted guys are 7th on average in the overall top twenty standings and that only 25-30% of the top twenty scores are assisted.

  Unless I'm completely out to lunch with my interpretation of the data, I wouldn't consider that as "dominating".
