[RTTY] DRCG WW RTTY Contest Rules changes in 2014?

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Thanks to Goetz, DJ3IW, for the answers.

In 2014, the name of the contest changed from LDC (Long Distance Contest) to the DRCG WW RTTY Contest. Not only were the continent
multipliers eliminated, 40M QSO points are now multiplied by 2 and 80M QSO points are now multiplied by 3.

Thanks Goetz!

The DRCG WW RTTY Contest records have now been updated on rttycontesting.com to include 2014 results:

Subject: [RTTY] DRCG WW RTTY Contest Rules changes in 2014?

After reviewing the results of the 2014 DRCG WW RTTY Contest, it's obvious the rules changed starting in 2014 since all the scores
are significantly lower that previous years despite more QSOs and Mults.

I no longer see that continents are used as "final score" multipliers starting in 2014. Does anyone know if this is the only scoring
rule change?

Thanks,
Don AA5AU
