[CQ-Contest] your opinion pse

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Phillip,
Which contest did this happen with?
I've heard of a handful of contests that do this, and the usual reasoning boils down to whether or not a 'unique' call will be permitted. It could be a busted call, or a bootlegged or made-up call by someone having some twisted fun with the contest participants... or it could be a faked entry to give someone unethical a mult that no one else has. 
OTOH, I also know of many contests that will accept a 'unique' call, so long as it's determined that the call IS valid and isn't busted, etc.
But I wouldn't consider it 'accepted international practice.'

Gentlemen,
Your opinions or ideas etc on this please.

A local contester had a contact removed because of :

.Last year an OP worked a LU station but it was disallowed because he was the only one who worked him, and 4 others had to work it before it was allowed as a multiplier. Nothing in the rules about that - apparently it's accepted international practice. 

I am not on a witch hunt I have read the rules covering this contest and I have read the ARRL DX rules which I take qualify as a body who would use " accepted international practice " yet I can't find any reference to this ..Is there such or is this pie in the sky ?

Please gentleman your input.. or a pointer to this " accepted international practice "

Just don't want to see it happen again ..
