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

[Tim Duffy K3LR]

Hello Andrei!

I am curious if you looked at your CQWW CW UBN report?
That will tell you exactly what happened with your log.

The CQWW is one of the very best adjudicated contests and the UBN report is
a great aid for improving your score next year.

73!

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...
