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

[Keith Martin GØGFQ]

I think everyone's missing the point, isn't this competition called the 80m
Club Championship therefore IMHO every members score however poor should
count towards their chosen club's overall point tally?

I'm a constant poor scorer, with a rubbish vertical in a small garden
however I contribute and actively encourage our other members to do so. Why
is everyone so elitist, the top team with the best available set-up re;
antennas etc. will always win, yet our little group now has no choice but to
enter the General. Otherwise we omit fully paid up members, why should we as
it's ridiculous that people qualify for Bittern DX Group in AFS but nowhere
close for 80m CC!

Most of our 35km radius is the North Sea, maybe we'll need to sign up some
passing /MM stations

No Neil, 
	You miss Andy's G4PIQ  and my point that  irrespective of who are
the better operators during the course of each contest. The Largest club
overall in terms of fielded entrants will surely win. Check out the Winner
and Second Clubs since the Contest began including of course your own club.
	In  limiting the score by  taking the highest four or five scores
from a club does not stop entrants within a club from trying to improve,
indeed they can try to lead (if in the second group) this group.
	My suggestion was that the leading adjudicated top four or five
scores count for the club. That way even the smallest of clubs have a shout.

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!
