NATIONAL TEAM CONTESTING TRIAL

We have decided to end The National Team Contesting Trial (for Scandinavian
teams). It was hard to form full teams in all countries each year, but the
upside was that we got very fine experience from the use of the real time
scoring system at cqcontest.net together with live video transmission from
the teams. So we encourage all participants to use the cqcontest.net real
time scoring service extensively during SAC. Real time scoring adds a lot
of excitement during the contest and it’s fun for “the spectators” as well.
