One rover can work another rover at a grid intersection 160 times for 40 multipliers. One stays in CN 84 the other moves. 
IE CN84-CN85 x 10 contacts, CN84-94 x 10 contacts, CN 84-95 x 10 contacts. CN 84-84 x 10. On station drives to  CN 85, 300 yards away.  The process is repeated to get all the 16 combinations on 10 bands for 160 QSOs and 40 multipliers, thats about 500 points times 40 for 20k points for an hurs work in a farmers field. These guys did it for 16 grids once with a team of 3 working primarly 4 intersections and posted a score in the millions when they worked 98 percent of thier own team mates for this score.
 
The rules have watered this down some, you need to have a bigger team to do the same thing and the team can now feed off each other to dominate 3 rover classes.
 
If this is a competition where you hope to achieve something and compair your efforts to others then it is truely pointless as long as this is allowed to go on. If you are in it for fun or to help hand out grids, then its good.  But many of us would like to compete on a level playing field where we dont have to round up a half dozen buddies to rack up a decent score.
