[RTTY] Rookie Roundup scoring

[David Levine]

Gary,

See one of my previous replies. I used N1MM and the summary seemed to match
the rules. Maybe WL is where the issue is?

As a non-rookie, 2 points for a contact with a rookie and 0 points for
contact with another non-rookie. Mults = states work + 1 DX for any rookie
contact. No mult for a non-rookie contact. Multiply points * mults and that
was my N1MM reported score and what I entered on the web form.

Seemed to work for me though what N1MM reported as data points weren't the
same ones the web form wanted but I could calculate them.
