Not even close. Nowhere is there a breakout for parts of the US -- Zone 
3 is lumped with Zones 4 and 5. I managed to place first in the Pacific 
division and in CA in the 2013 10M contest for Unassisted Single Op 
Mixed Modes, and was #11 US. K6LL was the only station west of the 
Rockies who beat me. Nary a word in QST, nor in the full results 
article. This isn't the first time -- it's happened all of the few times 
I've managed to place well.

I want to be able to compare my score with other operators and similar 
stations all over the world. No major DX contest yet allows this.
