[CQ-Contest] IARU 2009 and 2010 and ????

[LY8O]

Hello,

After all circus with few HQ station results in the last IARU contest the last information about HQ category in 2010 sounds destructive and have no future. For me, as a LY0HQ team member, and for many other amateurs who preparing to participate in the HQ teams around the World I believe the words below sounds like a monkey business or like a simple disabling from CC side:
"Effective with the 2010 IARU HF World Championship, no adjudication
of HQ station logs will be conducted by the ARRL," wrote Patton. (NN1N)
I can't believe this is all the CC could do... In this case I see a reason to exclude HQ category at all because I thing number or participators will decrease very noticeably - many will decide to participate in SO or M/S categories. 
On the other hand there is a possibility to reduce own country supporters weight in the final results - just to change points per QSO weigth. If we lets say will go to the scoring 1 point for own country, 2 points for a different zone in the own country, 3 points for different country in the same zone, 5 points for a different zone in the same continent and 10 points for a different continent (or something else) - the final picture will be different. Perhaps there could be and other solutions as well.
So I think CC must to decide very clear - to exclude HQ category at all or let to compete HQ stations with each other because this i a contest but with rules changes.
Thanks for reading.
