[CQ-Contest] Non-assisted & Assisted

[Ktfrog007 at aol.com]

I was just asking a general question because there are contests where  the 
rules don't mention the subject.  As an example, the BARTG Sprint  this 
weekend.  
 
The contests I gave as examples state their rules clearly.  I used  them as 
examples of good practice and also to illustrate the variation in rules  
when using the same terminology.  
 
BARTG has not replied to my inquiry about their contest.

Each  contest has its own rules.  Do you expect all contests to be the  
same?
Why?

Which contest are you talking about when you say "a  contest's rules say
nothing about Assisted operation"?

Both of the  contests you then cite, explicitly address this issue, so it's
not clear to  me what you're getting at.

1) ARRL RTTY Roundup:  "Single Operator  entrants may not use any form of
spotting assistance".
2) CQ WPX  RTTY:              "Use of QSO alerting  assistance is permitted 
in
all categories".

It seems these two that  you mention are pretty definitive although  quite
different.
