Ron, Then why not say there is one TL for W1 and W2 and W3.  Instead of calling 
3 TL from the area and then distorting the qualifying.

Have 3 people “win” every contest that are all actually competing for the same 
slots is illogical.  It is NOT what you just described.

I’m not sure I understand the question.

There are three qualifying districts.  The top score in each qualifies.  
Simple.  Right?

So what’s the issue?

I wanted to put out the question to the group here to see if I am interpreting 
this correctly.

In the 1st qualification area of the US, there are 3 qualifying districts, W1, 
W2, W3.  If the highest score in W1 is 5 Million and the highest score in W2 is 
4 Million and the highest score in W3 is 3 Million, there will be 3 people that 
made those highest scores earning 1,000 points - assuming they are all HP 
Unassisted.  So instead of 1 winner of the area there are actually 3 winners of 
the area for every contest. And there are only 3 TL selected from the W1, W2, 
W3 area.  Even though there could have been numerous scores much higher than 
the W3 score in this example, the W3 winner will get the same credit as if they 
had the 5 Million score.

If the above is correct, this seems highly distorted.  You are guaranteeing 3 x 
1000 point winners in the contest vs it should only have 1 x 1000  points.

Please comment on whether this is in fact right.  Doesn't feel right....
