There was an analysis done a few years back where somebody went through
and entered in maidenhead grids for most all competitors (using CQWW
logs) and a log masher. Turns out most everyone who won in that
particular won if distance was factored in - some of the positions were
rearranged however. I believe the sole exception was that NH2T made it
toward the top of the box.
If you really, really want to placate some in certain areas, then give
one point for intra country QSOs provided the QSO is with a station in a
different CQ zone. BY9s working BY4s get one point. VK6s working VK3s
get one point. VE1s working VE7s get one point. Etc.

Would distance-based scoring really help?
The K1s would still get the vast majority of long-distance Qs, while those who
might otherwise benefit probably won't work enough longer Qs to make up?

I'm curious if CQ has ever explored using
distance based scoring like what's used in the Stew Perry contests? Figure
points based on distance and keep the zones/counties as multipliers. Also make
US states and VE call areas multipliers to even things out with EU. I'm sure
there would be some way to do this. Maybe it's time to call N6TR since Tree has
figured out how to do this.
