[CQ-Contest] CQWW CW check logs

[Yuri]

In the 2014 SSB Contest, I moved one DX station from 10 to 15 and then to 20 
m for a new multiplier (The DX station graciously agreed to move).
After receiving my UBN file I found that both 15 and 20 m QSO's with this DX 
station were marked as Not-In-Log and I lost 2 multipliers + I was 
penalized.
However, all 3 QSOs are confirmed on the LoTW...
I discovered that the above mentioned DX submitted Single Band (10 m) LOG 
and removed all other QSO's from his LOG thus penalizing everybody he worked 
outside 10 m band...
I don't know, maybe CQ WW Committee should explain the policy of a "single 
band" category more clearly... Or, what else can be done to avoid situations 
like that?
And what if it's done on purpose, like in the example with that SM operator?
Makes you a bit mad if you can't control things like that.
