Scoring
Fone operation
2 points are counted for connecting to a station in the WW-locator's own large square (the first two letters and the following two numbers). In neighboring large squares, it is 3 points, and in the next strips, it is always 1 point more than in the previous strips.
CW operation
The same as for the phone, plus add 2 points.
Digital operation
The same as for the phone, plus add 4 points.
Within one competition round, one valid connection with each station in each type of operation (maximum 3 connections – 1× phone, 1× CW, 1× digital) can be counted into the race, in which the complete competition code was transmitted and confirmed by both stations. Each station may only have one signal on one band at any given time. Connections with non-competing stations are also valid for the race, but must transmit the entire competition code; 001 will be entered as the connection number. Connections through converters are not included in the plant.
The result
It is given by the sum of points for connections multiplied by the sum of multipliers. Multipliers are the large WW-locator squares that were worked with during the race, including your own square.
