For ARRL:
1. 8.2. Only clubs actively affiliated with the ARRL or RAC may
participate in the ACC.
1. 8.2.1. Within the US and its territories, a club must:
1. 8.2.1.1. Be affiliated with the ARRL, and
2. 8.2.1.2. Have filed an annual report with the Field Services
Department of ARRL HQ within the last two years.
2. 8.2.2. Clubs outside of the ARRL operating territory may
participate as follows:
1. 8.2.2.1. In Canada, clubs that are fully affiliated with the
Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) are eligible to submit scores
for an Affiliated Club Competition event.

must be ARRL affiliates as determined by the "Rules and
Regulations Concerning Affiliated Societies " section of the
ARRL Articles of Association, By-Laws, Rules and Regulations.
2. 8.3. For a club to be listed, the following conditions must be met:
1. 8.3.1. A minimum of three entries from qualified club members
must be submitted.
2. 8.3.2. The entry must clearly indicate the club name in the

must submit a list of all club members eligible to compete for
the club (not a club roster) and which level (unlimited, medium,
local) they wish to enter for each competition */_prior to the
start of_/* the contest.
4.
"/Rationale - a club's _*Eligibility List*_ shows the call signs
and locations for all members who are eligible to submit scores
for club credit from a specific contest. It is not a list of
entries in a contest that the club claims. Clubs should submit a
complete list of 'eligible members who may contribute their
score' to the club as noted in their submitted log./"
5. 8.3.3.1. Club /Eligibility Lists/ may be submitted via the
ARRL-provided web uploading service, or by email, fax, or postal
service mail to the ARRL Contest Branch Manager. The
/Eligibility List/ must contain the club name, club ARRL section
(or location of the center of the club's eligibility circle),
and a list of member call signs and locations. Locations are
specified as six-character grid locators (e.g. FN20ab or
DM13sc). Distances are calculated from center-to-center of the
six-character grid locators.
6.
1. 8.3.3.2. Failure by the club to submit a valid list of
member's eligible to submit scores for the club either
electronically or by mail (postmarked before the start of
the contest) may result in the club being declared
ineligible for the Club Competition event in question.
7. 8.3.4. A member's score must be shown in the contest results to
be counted for a club. Only that score shown in the results (or
in subsequent corrections) will count for the club competition.

1. 8.4.1. *Unlimited*
1. 8.4.1.1. Club submits 51 or more entries.
2. 8.4.1.2. One station can submit two entries one on CW and

operator at a single-operator station must meet the membership
and residence requirement for the club classification
(Unlimited, Medium or Local see rule 8.4) and the station must
be located within the defined club territory. The owner of the
station does not need to be a member of the club claiming the score.
2. 8.5.2. At least 50% of the operators at a multi-operator station
must be eligible members of the club and the station must be
located within the defined club territory. The owner of the
station does not need to be a member of the club claiming the
score.*
A club member who resides outside of the club territory counts
as a non-member when determining the number of eligible members
at a multi-operator station.
