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

[Andy Cook, G4PIQ]

It was me who raised the point about limiting team size to make the club
competition 'fair'. For the record - I'd actually be against imposing a
limit because I think it's more valuable that we get the maximum number of
stations active. It's just that folks need to get less wound-up about the
validity of the club competition - because it isn't a real competition
without a team size limit.

73,

Andy, G4PIQ

There is one aspect being overlooked by limiting the number of members from 
a club; with the unlimited number of members even the very lowly scores 
count and encourage that member to better things. We in DMU ARS have a total

membership of 26 which is certainly not large and those members are far from

being all contest oriented. But several members started contesting very 
modestly a couple of years ago and now are getting respectable scores. These

members would not have bothered to come on if their lowly scores did not 
count.

The approach has increased the number of competent contesters in I am sure 
many clubs.

These CC 80 contests are not CQWW or NFD

You took the words out of my mouth Clive ... 5 in a team is a very good
idea!
