[UK-CONTEST] Unnecessary 80m CC rule tweaking?

[Ian Pritchard]

Morning all
The contest group I operate for will never be at the top, we simply don't  have sufficient numbers. Nevertheless we enjoy these increasingly popular contests and take part when we can.  Activity has been increasing year on year and operating standards steadily improving, so if the aim of the events was to increase awareness and encourage contesting then they have been a great success.
Presumably the recent rule changes have been prompted by whinges from a minority of "local" clubs who are uncomfortable when they see their results further down the table than they would like.  Other than to produce a second results table so that "local" clubs can feel better about their performance I can't see what positive results these changes will achieve.
