Where do you get that there are three qualifying districts within NA
#1 (the qualification area).
"Maximum Score is the largest published score in the applicant’s category from
the =Qualification Area= in which the applicant’s score was made."
I dont see any reference to a subdivision of the Qualification area into
separate call area.
