A change in scoring
methodology for duplicate contacts (dupes) in the CW weekend of the 2017
CQ World Wide DX Contest led to an inconsistency with the standards by
which logs submitted for the SSB weekend of the same contest were
scored. After considerable discussion and debate among members of the
CQWW Contest Committee and consultation with CQ management, it has been
decided to restore the original scoring methodology and to rescore all
CW logs for 2017. It is not expected that this will result in any
changes to the order of finish. Updated scores will be published online
on the CQ website <
www.cq-amateur-radio.com> and the CQ World Wide DX Contest website <
www.cqww.com>. The contest community will be notified once the re-scoring is completed.
