[CQ-Contest] CQ WW CW 2007 Result W2/NP3D - I just did not get it.

[Andrei Stchislenok]

Hello folks:

With due respect to all.

I received today September, 2007 CQ Magazine with the Results of CQ WW CW
2006 Contest.

Just for curiosity, I compared two consecutive results on page 103:

WB2AA result:

806,784 points  771 QSO's  95 Zones  289 Countries
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

W2/NP3D result:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
743,808 points  857 QSO's  99 Zones  285 Countries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These two stations have the same amount of mults = 384.

W2/NP3D had 86 more QSO's than WB2AA; but he has almost 63,000 points
less... (62,976 to be exact)

Well, I have No problem with that, the (W2/NP3D) result is not that great
anyway; that difference (62,976 points) just looks weird...

Same amount of Mults, more QSO's, and less points... But whatever; this is
not my point.

My point is here:
I opened my Writelog for the last year CQ WW CW and checked the numbers of
what I claimed with what I found in CQ Magazine.

What I saw, I just did not get it...

I worked 883 QSO's - got confirmed 857  - lost 26 Q's or 3%
I worked 104 Zones - got confirmed 99 Zones - lost 5 Zones or 4.9%
I worked 294 Countries - got confirmed 285 Countries - lost 9 Countries or
3%

So: I lost 26 QSO's and 14 Mults. Or I lost 3% of QSO's and 3.9% of Mults.
OK

My Claimed Score was: 874,160 points and Official result is: 743,808.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That means: I lost 130,352 points or 14.9 percents!?

For 3 percents of lost QSO's and 3.9 percents of lost Mults I lost
14.9percents of points?? How nice...

Strange Mathematic, Guys... I dont get it, sorry...

But whatever... The Judge is always right. (something like that I heard)

I never before even thought to analize all these numbers, feel just sorry
that I opened my eyes at this time...

Really sorry for this long story...
