What's your point?

Combining SOAB and SOAB(A) has nothing to do with comparing the highest
scores in each category.

It's about eliminating  the possibility of taking even a very small unfair
advantage throughout the 48-hour period that can place a cheater above
his/her competitors (even if it is very little above in the rankings)

It also has to do with eliminating the burden and work overload that
implies trying to find those who cheat.

Reality is that ops who cheat have perfected their techniques beyond what
can be detected by log checkers. Those who get caught year after year are
those who abuse of DX clusters in a very obvious way.

At this point it makes no sense to keep this separation anymore.

In the end, SO will keep doing better than those who use DX alerting
assistance, so what SOs are complaining about?

They can even still use a pen and paper logs and send CW with a straight
key if they want.

Are there still contesters out there entering contests because they think
they are winning anything at all, or winning over anybody at all??

What in the world would make someone think he/she is winning over someone
who is thousand of miles away, with totally different equipment,
propagation and participating according to a bunch of rules that are hardly
enforceable?t

C'mon guys. It seems like intelligence is inversely proportional to egos
among certain high profile contesters :-)

Our "competitions" have nothing of real competitions. It is just a game of
enjoyment, but if we are still going to pretend these are competitions, at
least we can establish the foundations to make them something a bit more
trustworthy in those terms.
