[CQ-Contest] a little more fairness?

[Charles Harpole]

A modest proposal....  Could the contesting community consider cutting some slack to a neglected part of the contesting world, specifically CQ Zones 22, 26, 27 and 28, South Asia area.  I suggest doubling the point count for working stations in this area from outside the zones.
 
The reason is that (1) most beams are from NA to EU or the reverse or are on JA (these headings are a long way from S. Asia usually), (2) many very high power stations clustered in EU tend to drown out S. Asia to all in EU, (3) the start time of 0000Z gives very poor first hours to S. Asia stations due to prop at those hours, and (5) there are just not as many one-hop stations to work within these and near-by zones and (5) not many stations in S. Asia do contests partly due to what is listed here.
 
The playing field is just not flat, not nearly, and looks more like a mountain between S. Asia and the large collections of contesters in EU and NA.  So, I ask this be considered because it will also liven up contests and add more challenges.  I will certainly encourage S. Asia stations to participate more and longer.
