This was posted on qrp-l awhile back - edited for brevity:

The IARU has an agreement that NO contests large or small will be
recomended on the WARC. That is a "recomendation" that No competition
will take place on the WARC bands. The IARU is 113 National
organizations that have made this RECOMENDATON. Not a gentlemens
agreement or rule but a joint Recomendation. It took much dicussioin to
agree that DXCC would be awarded using any WARC band but ONE station in
a pileup does not constitute a CONTEST or competition. The Thusrday nite
FOX was once considered as a medium but ruled out by this ageeement and
or recomendation. Keep the recomendation as a valid rule that WE as
concerned Amateur Radio Operators should be aware of and comply with the
agreed recomendations as set forth by the IARU.

If God intended you to be on single sideband, he would have given you only 
one nostril.
