To reassure everyone, I aim to take the CQWW approach with checking =
which is, essentially, to throw away the claimed scores (not literally!) =
and rescore everyone's log as per the rules so that, for example, anyone =
not claiming their entitlement of mults will have it credited anyway.

  I understood this to mean that you could work other stations (not
  other members of your own group) on your own IOTA island (or group of
  islands) for multiplier credit and that, as stated in another rule,
  they would score 3 points each rather than the normal 15 points for
  IOTA island QSOs.

  If the rule actually means that you can simply inflate your multiplier
  totals without having any corresponding QSOs, then it's not supported
  by SDI.  Like other contest loggers, SDI scores on the basis of QSOs
  logged.

  As always, users are free to edit the Summary Sheet (from SDICHECK) as
  required.
