[UK-CONTEST] 2m Club Championship - 1st Tuesday of the Month

[Andy Cook, G4PIQ]

Just a quick reminder that in parallel with the 80m club championships
that most of you will know are now running, there are a sister set of
VHF events, giving another opportunity for a good bit of inter-club
rivalry! This VHF championship runs once a month, throughout the year,
on the first Tuesday of the month from 2000 - 2230 LOCAL TIME alongside
our existing 2m UK activity contests. 
 
Exchange report, serial number and locator, and simply score the contest
at 1 pt / QSO, multiplied by number of large squares worked (e.g.JO01,
IO91 etc.). Separate sections for single operator fixed stations and
everyone else. Clubs can submit as many stations as they wish per
session - just make sure that the cover sheet information with your
individual entry contains a club name. Total club score is determined by
the sum of the individual station's scores so the more stations active
from a club the better.
 
Any queries, please drop me a line - formal rules attached below. Work
permitting, I hope to be on next Tuesday 3rd Feb and hear some of you on
then.

Club Championship Rules

1.	This is a new event based around competition between affiliated
societies. The individual entries by a club's members to the 2m UK
activity contests which take place on 2m from 2000-2230 LOCAL time on
the 1st Tuesday in every month all count towards a society's overall
score for the year. The 2m UKACs are short contests with a
straightforward scoring scheme which are simple enough for beginners and
have high activity to keep more experienced contesters interested. To
maximise the club score, it's important for the club contest organiser
to get as many members to come on for as many sessions as possible. A
rolling club listing will be maintained on the VHFCC web site
www.blacksheep.org/vhfcc. 



2.	Stations enter the 2m UKAC contest in the normal way, but need
to include an AFS (affiliated society) name in the cover sheet of their
entry. Entries to all sections of the UKAC count towards the overall
club score which is the simple sum of the scores of each team member
operating that month.



3.	To determine the winner at the end of the year, the leading club
each month will be awarded 1000 points, and all other club scores for
that month will be normalised by the formula 

Normalised score for each session = (Total club score x 1000) 
                                                          (Leading club
score)



4.	We intend to award a trophy to the club with the highest score
at the end of the year. All 12 sessions will count towards the total
club score.
