But that isn't how some have been trying to do it. Let me explain:


Mobile operator is in County 1. He works 10 contacts in ten other Counties. He submits a summary sheet and calculates his score as 10 times 10 = 100 Then he adds the 500 point bonus.

The summary sheet from county 1 will show a score of 600 points.

Then he moves to county 2. He works 20 contacts with 10 different counties He logs his score as 20 times 5 = 200, plus a 500 point bonus. It's like starting over.

The summary sheet from County 2 will show a score of 700 points.

So now he has a total score he needs to present. So on that total score he has 30 contacts. But some of the counties he worked in County 1 were also worked in County 2. Let's say that he worked 5 of the same county in county 1 as in county 2. Now the total number of different counties he worked in the party was 15. That is 15 mults total.

So when doing the aggregate summary,  we have:

30 total contacts
15 total counties
2 x 500 point bonus

for a total score of 1450 points

but his individual County summary sheets would appear to have him with a total score of 1300 points when added together. (600 points for County 1, and 700 points for County 2)

Or….

He might send in a summary sheet that only included the new counties that he got as multipliers for that county. This would further move his score away from the aggregate summary. I've received them all three ways.

So that's how the opposing ideas of scoring mobiles works. One way, the individual county scores will not add up to the total score of the party, and the other way it will.
