I made several specific suggestions that had NOTHING to do with 
distance-based scoring. Why no response? One involved redefining what 
constitutes a multiplier in ways that significantly reduce the disparity 
between regions. No one in the contesting establishment wants to talk 
about it because THEY lose part of their advantage.

I proposed a regional handicap system where each score is adjusted based 
on how well the contesters in his region did compared to all regions. No 
one in the contesting establishment wants to talk about this either, 
because they lose another part of their contesting advantage.
