In the past, the CQWW site has posted only received logs and their category, not 
claimed scores. The claimed scores posted by the ARRL are taken from the 
CLAIMED-SCORE line of the Cabrillo file. That may be accurate, or not. At 
WRTC-2006, I found it interesting that the log adjudicators were able to create 
a "real" claimed score for each competitor within minutes of the end of the 
contest using the submitted QSO's in the Cabrillo log.
