[SFDXA] Leaderboard scoring at T32C

[WILLIAM MARX]

>From Bernie W3UR:

As a sponsor of the current T32C log search I am sorry to report the
following from G7VJR and 5B4WN.  It's a real shame that people have to
cheat in order to be number one.  If you can't do it fairly why bother!
Hats off to the T32C team for their decision not to penalize those with
dupes and for the great effort they are making!  As of 0700Z today they
have 181,557 QSOs and have probably already passed the VP6DX record of
183,686.  At the rate they are going they will no doubt pass 200K.  Can
you imagine if they had their original equipment, which got stuck in a
container in Fiji?  Go T32C!

Leaderboard scoring at T32C

During the T32C expedition, a large number of stations have succeeded in
working the maximum number of slots possible, or share the same number
of slots as a large number of other stations. Using the "first past the
post" scoring system, those who worked these slots first are ranked
highest. Duplicates count negatively.

This scoring system has been manipulated by a small number of stations
operating illegally. They have determined that by using someone else's
callsign and working T32C, they can create duplicates and force that
callsign down the leaderboard.
Ranking changes

In response to this problem, the scoring system for the T32C is changing
to a ranking that does not penalise duplicate QSOs. This removes the
loophole that is being exploited.

This change will be made live on 19 October, with the agreement of the
T32C expedition team, to improve the fairness of the scoring.
