Maybe that's because in CQWW the whole score from a multi-op is not 
credited to one single club but rather a pro-rated fraction of the score 
goes to the clubs to which each operator belongs. OTOH, ARRL requires 
that 50% of the ops from the club to which the whole score is credited 
which presents another obstacle to being able to count the  operation by 
a diverse team of operators.

And since for both CQ and ARRL club competitions, club members must 
reside within "the local circle" of the club to which they contribute 
score, it's not likely there has ever been one big pot of points out 
there to be "recruited."

I'd suspect that portions of those huge scores have benefited several 
clubs :-)
