That's not in dispute.  However, when you submit your log via email 
I bet you receive the same text in the confirmation email as I did
Saturday stating that manually listing on/off times when submitting
logs in Cabrillo format is not required.  It would be nice if the
web text were updated to reflect this.

FYI, here is the complete email I received:

(This is an automatic reply.)

Thank you for your participation in the ARRL November Sweepstakes CW.
Your acknowledgement number is XXXX.

If you did not submit your log in the ARRL standard (Cabrillo) format
(see November 2000 QST, page 45 for more info), please feel free to
resubmit a Cabrillo version of your log to SSCW@arrl.org.

Time-on and time-off reporting is not required for logs submitted in
the Cabrillo format.  This message supersedes item 2.4.2 of the 2000
ARRL November Sweepstakes Rules on page 102 of October 2000 QST.

If you have any correspondence other than logs, please contact Dan
Henderson at ARRL Headquarters at n1nd@arrl.org.  73.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Note it clearly says this message supersedes rule 2.4.2 printed in
QST and by extension those published on the Web I would think.

73, de Nate >>
