[CQ-Contest] CQWW LCR's and log scrubbing

[Yuri Blanarovich]

Yep!
Looks like it happens , another contest no-no.

I was deprived from very unique record: maximum QSOs with 0 point 
result.

In good faith I worked my butt of working as many 0 point stations as I 
could to achieve biggest 0 point score. Worked bunch of them, my own 
country compadres, also supplying them with 0 point multiplier.
When results were published I found that 2 stations did not log me, 
causing 3 QSO penalty and more 0 point deduction. Thanks to magic of 
math and contest rules my final result was not affected.
It might be still on the record books, way down on the bottom, but it 
will be never beaten with some negative score, but it could have been 
bigger 0 score.
The point of the exercise was to demonstrate silly rule of 0 pointers 
for own country in todays age.
Oh well, if everyone is happy with lopsided scoring system, enjoy it, 
just keep clicking away!
