    More Details on WRTC Qualifying Points


          Patterned on the qualifying rules for the 2010 WRTC, the 2014
          version again keeps the CQ WW CW and SSB contests as the most
          important qualifying contests. Their value is now raised to
          1,000 points, as the 2010, 2011 and 2012 CQ WW tests will be
          part of the WRTC competition.

          There are 55 events overall - but not for everyone in each
          geographic area.

          US and Canadian hams have 49 events; North America 43, 38 for
          the Pacific ARRL Section, 32 for the rest of Oceania, 30 for
          Europe and 28 for all other qualifying regions.

          For those wondering about the weighting of WRTC points, that
          list is very important, because it determines how scores are
          "normalized" and who gains the most points from each contest:


    Single Op High Power - 1.0
    Single Op Low Power - 0.9
    Single Op QRP - 0.7
    SO Assisted - 0.8
    Single Mode in Mixed - 0.9
    Multi-Single - 1.0
    Multi-Two - 0.8
    Multi-Multi - 0.7


          The biggest changes here are that Single Op Low Power goes
          from 0.7 to 0.9, making those in the low power ranks eligible
          for many more WRTC points.
