[PVRCNC] PVRC Olympics Program for 2021-2022

[Mike Barts]

June is the conclusion of the current Olympics 'contest year' and July
begins a new one. With the new season, the officers have decided to make
some changes to the Olympics rules.



The primary goal of the Olympics program is to encourage participation in
PVRC activities, specifically those contests where PVRC competes in the
club competition, i.e. the 5 Million Award contests. For the past several
years the Olympics also required participation in other club activities
such as meeting attendance, new member recruitment, newsletter
contributions and financial contributions to the club. These are all
activities we want to encourage members to participate in. However,
administration and tracking of these activities is cumbersome for both
members and the program administrator (i.e. me!). So the officers have
decided to simplify the rules for the Olympics program for 2021-2022.



For 2021-2022, the only criteria for the Olympics is the number of contests
entered in which 50 or more contacts were made. The rules, shown below, are
simple and straightforward (hopefully). Direct any questions or concerns to
me for clarification.



PVRC Olympic Program 2021-2022

1.      The primary goal of the Olympics Award Program is to encourage
participation in contests that have club competition categories in which
PVRC competes.

2.      Only contests in the PVRC 5 Million Program are included in the
Olympics. There are 30 5M contests during the 2021-2022 contest season
(July-June)

3.      To receive Olympic credit for a contest, you must submit your entry
to the contest sponsor and 3830scores.com with a minimum of 50 QSOs.

3a. Multiop contest entries with more than 125 Qs will count for ALL listed
ops, regardless of the number of ops.

3b. Station hosts (multi or single op) will receive the same credit as the
operator(s).

4.      Awards levels are as follow:

a.      Bronze – 10 contests.

b.      Silver – 15 contests

c.      Gold – 20 contests

5.      Scores will be taken from reports submitted to 3830scores.com. Be
sure to indicate Potomac Valley Radio Club for club affiliation.
