There might be exceptions to this rule, but my understanding was that
computer-printed logs are not acceptable.  The options are to submit it in
Cabrillo format, or to send in a paper _handwritten_ log.

From the General contest rules:

4.2.1. Output files from word processors (such as Word documents), database
programs (such as Excel spreadsheets) or logging program .bin files that are
not ASCII text files are not acceptable for submissions. 

and:

4.6.Any log that is computer generated must be submitted as an electronic file
in Cabrillo file format. Failure to submit the required electronic file can
result in the entry being designated a checklog, and thereby ineligible for
competition. A paper printout of an electronic log file is not an acceptable
substitute. 


The reasoning behind this rule is that they figure if the data is already
there in electronic format, it's not too much more work to put it in Cabrillo
format, so they don't want to worry about paper.

This in in the general rules, so if there's something in the VHF+ rules or the
specific contest rules, that would take precedence.
