The ARRL CAC has no say in the IARU HF contest rules. This is an IARU 
contest, not an ARRL contest. Of course, the ARRL provides nearly 100% 
of the funding and administrative support.

P.S. In my personal soapbox, this was a much better contest years ago, 
before they added HQ stations and mults to the contest. These became 
defacto, per-band, country multipliers, just like every other DX 
contest. IARU could actually be won outside of the "traditional" DX 
contest-winning areas.
