[CQ-Contest] SO2R vs SO1R

[Dave Edmonds]

The top 25 players (according to 3830scores.com) in the NAQP CW contest
were running SO2R. Congrats to N9NB a SO1R op who broke the chain of SO2R
scores.. The concern I saw was that there were no SO1R stations anywhere
near the top scores in the NAQP LP category. There was a very wide score
margin between the two types of operation too...

Is a category for number of receivers needed in the world of contesting?

How are SO1R ops doing in other contests competing against SO2Rs?

Does not having a "number of receivers" category discourage SO1Rs from
competing?

Are there any contests that have such a category?

Thoughts?
