[UK-CONTEST] 80m CC Data leg scoring errors

[G4LMW]

Dear CC Contesters
 
It has come to light that there were some errors in the calculated scores in the Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr Data legs of the CCs. Thankfully, Bristol are so far ahead that it does not affect the eventual winners. However, it is significant in the race for 2nd place.
 
With one more set of scores to be published (July Data),  it does mean that Norfolk and De Montfort swap places in the current standings.
 
The large loss of points for Scunthorpe is for one log that had an invalid mode for every QSO and so should have scored 0 points, not over 600.
 
The web pages and spreadsheets have been updated. It took a while as amending over 500 individual scores and the resultant team scores was not that simple! I should stress that this was not an error in adjudication of the logs, rather the way that those logs translated to a score. Because of the "quirky" nature of Data contest scoring it only affected these modes. SSB and CW were unaffected.
 
I am sure you would all agree that it is better to get the scores correct now. The detail of the calculations can be found here:

They are quite complex, so if anyone wants me to walk through them, it is best to call me on 07970 885614.
 
Our apologies to all concerned, but the error has now been fixed moving forwards
