<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span> - Clubs fire up current members and recruit new members to their roster (must meet membership requirements of the club i.e. "inside the circle.")</span></font>
</div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span> - The presidents of the clubs exchange rosters at a given point prior to the contest to declare eligible players (like trading lineups at home plate before a baseball game).
</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span> - At the conclusion of the contest, all participants must submit their scores to the contest sponsor for their points to be eligible for the T-A-G-C-I-A-C.</span></font>
</div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span> - All logs with 10 or more valid contacts are eligible for the T-A-G-C-I-A-C calculation. Logs for CW/PH/DIG sections of the contest are considered separate logs.</span>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span> - The final point totals for all eligible logs will be added together then multiplied by the total number of eligible logs for a T-A-G-C-I-A-C contest total.</span>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span> - The club with the most points wins bragging rights - until next year - and will sponsor the Hospitality Suite at the Huntsville Hamfest (but the losers buy the beverages!)

<div><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><span>By using the number of eligible logs as a multiplier, part-timers and baby guns (like myself) who only make a few contacts can still contribute. Also it will serve to encourage non-voice, non-digital, or non-CW players to make at least 10 contacts in that mode to submit an eligible multiplier log.
