Your numbers are incorrect.

For WRTC-2018, only the top 12 of your scores in the qualifying contests are 
counted, not 16 contests.

I can't imagine where you get the " x 2 for general preparation/maintenance time 
per contest" from. I certainly didn't spend that much time preparing for each 
contest when I qualified for WRTC-96, -2000, -2002, -2006, -2010, -2014.
