[CQ-Contest] Self-spot not allowed in IARU HF Championship

[Paolo, IK3QAR]

I was sure that the IARU HF Championship was an ARRL contest, and 
therefore allowed self-spot like the others.

However, the rules (https://www.arrl.org/iaru-hf-world-championship) it 
is clearly state that self-spot is not allowed.

In doubt that the rules were not up to date, I wrote to the ARRL Contest 
manager who replied:
"As IARU is not an ARRL sponsored event (we process the logs and publish 
the results), Self Spotting is prohibited in the IARU HF World 
Championship."

Was I the only one who had this doubt? :)
