We can't do that!    Unless TAC is an ARRL Affiliated Club

If not I guess we get to throw the scores into MRRC ....

         in question.


   8.3.4. A member's score must be shown in the contest results to be
      counted for a club. Only that score shown in the results (or in
subsequent
      corrections) will count for the club competition.
