This updates and supersedes the policy discussion in the editorial of the September 2022 issue of CQ.
Continue reading “Updated CQ Contest Policy for Entries from Russia/Belarus”Raw scores are the score calculated for each entry before the log checking begins. Typically published 5-7 days after the contest, they are the first opportunity to see all of the scores and rankings.
Previously, the raw scores only allowed viewing by World or by Continent. The new enhancement adds the ability to also filter scores by Country or Call Area (USA, Japan, Russia). This will make it easier to see how you did in comparison to your closest competitors.

Thanks to the efforts of Tim Shoppa, N3QE, the CQ WW Rules Archive now has a copy of the rules for every year from the original contest in 1948 to the present day.
It is kind of fun to look back and see how the rules have changed over the years and how they have remained the same.
After the results for the CQ WW CW 2020 Contest were published, feedback from a few stations uncovered a small scoring error in our software. This error caused some stations not to get zone multiplier credit if the only zone 5 station they worked was in the Canadian Maritimes. We said it was a small error!
There were 817 scores that went up (out of 9103 entries). Most gained one extra zone multiplier. We want everyone to get full credit for the score they earned, so we have updated the online database with the corrected scores.
The log checking reports have also been updated. You can see the revised LCR using the same encrypted link you received in your email.
We apologize for the error and appreciate your understanding.
