Teams 2012
Please have a look at the rules - teams are now reduced to 5 members
Team Competition
(a) Each team will consist of up to five stations. In addition to Australia, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand and Rest of the World teams, any Commonwealth country or geographical region may enter one or more teams. An individual station may only represent one team, and may compete in the Open or Restricted section. Each station's log must be submitted in the normal way.
(b) Each team will have a captain who must submit a list of callsigns of team members to the Umpire no later than seven days before the start of the contest. Substitutions may be accepted up to the start of the contest.
(c) Stations in the Rest of the World team(s) may only be drawn from countries not submitting their own team.
Team Scoring
(a) The team score is the sum of individual adjudicated scores, with all stations located in the southern hemisphere or on the equator having their final score multiplied by a latitude factor. The factor for 2012 will be 1.79.
(b) The latitude factor will be re-calculated each year based on published scores: for each hemisphere, the highest-scoring team total for each of the last three years will be used to give an overall total and the factor will be calculated as the ratio of the northern to the southern grand totals rounded down to the nearest two decimal places.
(c) Each team member is competing as a single-operator within the overall contest, and no passing of information between team members during the event is permitted, except that team members may work each other for points and/or bonuses where the contest rules allow.
Please tell your team details before the BERU weekend.
We need callsigns to be used in the contest
Send info as soon as you can so we can publicise it.
