[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Scoring System needs revision?

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I think it is a step in the right direction.  Has anyone done a 
comparison of logs based on the current scoring and then converting it 
to distance based.  What difference would it make in your scores.  Would 
it change the scores of the top competitors.  If the answer is yes to 
that question you may have your answer to why this is not being accepted 
or talked about.

Those at the top like it there.
