What you say is true but not quite the whole story.
Judgements need to be made regarding time taken to re-establish a run after
the pile has dissipated, which it almost always does when a QTC exchange
commences. Account also needs be taken of the self generated QRM which
will result when transferring QTCs less than 10. When asked for QTCs I
will typically respond with LATER unless I have 10 to send.
Despite best efforts to dispose of them I almost always end up with QTCs to
spare at the end of the contest.
WAE is one of my favourite contests. Heaps of fun. Those playing without
exchanging QTCs miss out on the spirit and most of the fun of the event.

Thanks Tibi for the view of an competitive WAEDC contester.
I just wanted to add one more thing:
Moust people think they don?t want to stop their "run" just because of
theses QTCs.
If fact if you can run 10 QTCs on CW in 90 seconds, score wise this is equal
to a 400 QSO/h rate.
On sideband you might need only 60 seconds for 10 QTCs that is equal to a
600 rate!
So if you are currently crusing above 400 QSOs/h I can fully understand a
"no qtc" decision. ;-)
73 and be ready for QTCs!
Next WAEDC leg is SSB @ September 12/13th !
