For CWACs, you want to be able to leverage the log adjudication process of the
primary contest sponsor. Otherwise, there won't be consistency across the CWACs
based on a contest as to what was considered to be a valid QSO. The main
contest sponsor would need to be willing to share a dataset of valid QSOs that
could be then rescored. Currently, the shared public logs contain all QSOs,
whether they were determined to be valid or not.

But then think of like Plaque sponsors.
A club sponsors an overlay. And anyone that is chasing or entering in
that overlay sends their log to the sponsoring of the overlay group.
This way you have the overlay and no extra work for the main contest
organizers.
