So why was it not listed in the proper category (VI Section) instead 
of not being listed? 

The rules are suspiciously silent on the status of US Possessions. 
However, multipliers are W/VE sections and US Virgin Islands is 
listed as a section (VI).  

The ARRL 10 Meter contest specifically defines KP2/KP4/etc. as 
DX.  

Frankly, Headquarters has their head where the sun doesn't shine 
- as usual with contest and DX activities these days.
