Touche! 

Actually there are several ways to skin the distance/power scoring cat.  
The Stew Perry Topband Distance Challenge awards points for each QSO 
based on distance - Minimum of 1 point per Q plus an additional point 
for every 500 km.  The exchange is your 4 digit grid square, but grid 
squares are not multipliers.

Stations running 5 to 100 watts multiply their QSO points by 2, and 
stations running less than 5 watts multiply their QSO points by 4.

Then - by QSO, points are multiplied by 2 for working stations running 
between 5 and 100 watts, and multiplied by 4 for working stations 
running less than 5 watts - this multiplication takes place when logs 
are received as a part of the log checking process.

So, the possibilities are endless!
