I agree with Ranko
2 years/12 Contest sounds mad ...... some of us are crazy (incl. me) but I
would like to
do something else in next 2 years except contesting
If I look to 2014 WRTC qualifications for 12 good scores even with E7DX
Station I needed to
operate about 30% more contest to achieve best scores.
This is like 16 contest in 2 years
8 per year !!!!
And for example instead of 5 teams we have now only 3 Team in our region.
This means not operate only in 16 contest we will need to operate
In all contest to not allow others to generate more points?!
WRTC is Team contesting (it was at least) ..... not happy to see only 4 MO
scores
and handicap for MS .....
As well I don?t have a feeling that points for WAE/WAG scores are good as
well...
I know this not going to change anything, but fellow Germans in WRTC
committee
you have no idea how contra productive this WRTC selections is going to be!
ONE BIG UNLIKE for qualifications....... :(

Betreff: Re: [CQ-Contest] WRTC2018 Qualifying
Hi to all,
I hope that some comments will be considered and Team selection criteria
will be changed a bit?
For me and all contesters whom I discussed with, obvious problem is having
to short selection period.
Ranking 12 contests , and making selection criteria in the way that mostly
SOAB are to be done is to much. Organizer counts seasons 2015/2016, and not
counting 2017? None of us can't see reasonable explanation for such
decision. We all suffered for qualifying for WRTC
2014 in Boston, dedicating ourself to make 12 good scores, and we had 3
years for it. It was really hard - ask anyone from EU or USA who did it.
Now we have only two years for same number of contests?
I have station capable to win and to assure place in qualification. I am
enough dedicated to spend unreasonable amount of time for hobby, but
honestly, it becomes to be so demanding and overmuch.
My proposal should be to:
-Extend qualification period on 2017
-Calculate eight best scores
It will give more chance to more contesters with average stations, and will
demand not quantity of scores - will demand higher scores and quality.
Simple.
I know that this will be probably ignored, but is is common opinion of many
contesters and previous WRTC participants.
Also, as organizer has full right to make selection criteria whatever he
likes, it is better to invite teams by whatever criteria you like, instead
having bad selection criteria.
Now I am curious to see rules. Hope our German friends will be more open for
rules with more rooms for technical improvements. Hope all will agree that
this aspect of contesting is very important as well as operating skills?
