From the rules:
In order to reduce geographical and propagation differences in sparsely
populated
areas, the following Selection Areas are further divided for score comparison:
W1 – ME, NH, VT, MA, CT, RI
W2 – NY, NJ (+ 4U1UN)
W3 – PA, DE, MD, DC
There are 3 total TLs from the region but there are 3 sub qualifying areas.
Seems to me a 1000 point winner is awarded to each sub area. So 3 people get
1000 points. Not 1.

I saw that and don't see how that changes anything. It says that for EU#6,
there can be only one team from YU. You cant have three YU teams representing
EU#6.
W is allowed multiple teams and three teams can come from the NA#1 (W) region
which encompasses W1, W2, and W3. The top score from NA#1 in a given contest
is THE top score in a given category from anywhere within NA#1.
