WRTC 2000 Final Results
After the winners of WRTC 2000 were announced in Bled on July 11, Team Finland (OH1EH and OH1NOA) questioned their reported score which was much lower than they had submitted. Here is how that came about. The referees’ team had intended to extract log data from text files. However, one software vendor made unannounced changes to the structure of his output files, which rendered the referees’ log-data-extraction software inoperable. As a quick fix, to reduce the amount of manual manipulation required, the referees used the binary files that had also been provided by some entrants. While Team Finland submitted a complete text file of their log, their binary file was incomplete owing to another logging program issue. The log that Team Finland submitted earned them a fifth place finish. The referees’ team apologizes for initially reporting a lower score.
Several teams commented that their multipliers were lower than expected. Since the logs had to be rescored to include the complete log of Team Finland (which eliminated some “not in log” score reductions for other contestants), the referees’ team took the opportunity also to correct some scoring of multipliers and to conduct a more complete review of the logged call signs, resulting in some changes to “bad” calls. This was done in order to provide the most accurate record possible of the results of WRTC 2000. The order of the top finishers is not affected, but there are a few changes in the order of finish farther down the list.
The referees’ team appreciates your understanding of the difficulties it faced in adjudicating the results in the very short time that was available in Bled. We are glad to have been a part of WRTC 2000 and to have had the opportunity to be of service.
