[PVRCNC] Re: [PVRC] Is there any interest in the club?

[Guy Olinger, K2AV]

What about a handicapping (weighting) system that used the FCC ham 
population of an unlimited club's geography to adjust scores.  Like 
this:

Divide each club's score by it's FCC ham population.  Gives a club's 
points/FCC ham.

Top raw score is it's own handicapped score.

For the rest of the unlimited handicapped scores, multiply the top raw 
score by each club's points/FCC ham.

Under that system an unlimited club could be the entire west coast, 
but would have to recruit and turn in a humongous score to win. 
Annexing populated areas to a club's territory means you have to 
produce scores from it.

It is not at all a big deal to determine a club's geography from the 
submitted logs, or from a roster.  It's program code and the FCC 
database.  If you know the geography, you know the population. If you 
know the population, you know the points/FCC ham.

Instant handicapping based upon a club's submitted logs, or it's 
roster, or a geography submitted to the contest organizer prior to the 
season, or....

73, Guy.
