SCORING SYSTEM

For Oceania Transmitting Stations:

* Each contact with a station in your own DXCC is worth 1 point.

* Each contact with an Oceania transmitting station outside your DXCC is worth 3 points.

* Each contact made with a non-Oceania transmitting station is worth 0 points.

* Only one contact per Oceania transmitting station will count in final points score.

* At the conclusion of the contest, points will be multiplied by the number of Oceania DXCC worked to give a TOTAL points score.

For Outside Oceania Transmitting Stations:

* Each contact with an Oceania transmitting station is worth 3 points.

* Only one contact per Oceania transmitting station will count in final points score.

* Each contact made with a non-Oceania transmitting station is worth 0 points.

* At the conclusion of the contest, points will be multiplied by the number of Oceania DXCC worked to give a TOTAL points score.

RESULTS

* Will be published on ‘11m DX Activities Oz’ and on the web sites of supporting DX Groups.

LOGS

* A progressive number system must be used. (For example: When you work an Oceania transmitting station, you must give them a progressive number. If they are participating in the Contest and you are an Oceania transmitting station then they will give you a progressive number in return. If you work a non-Oceania transmitting station then it is not necessary to issue a progressive number as this contact will not count in final points score).

* QSL cards are not necessary as proof of contact, however, log entries will be verified by the Contest Manager where necessary.

* A log sheet must be kept detailing all QSO particulars such as Callsign, Frequency, Date, Time, Mode and Progressive Number etc.

* Logs must be received by the Contest Manager by March 1, 2007. Any logs received after this date will not be considered in final judgements.

* Please note that the decision of the Contest Manager is final.
