THE CANADIAN CONTEST CHAMPIONSHIP

The Canadian Contest Championship is sponsored by the Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) in order to generate interest in contest operating among Canadian Amateurs and to provide a measure of the performance of Canadian Contest operators. The CCC is administered by John Scott, VA3PI/VE1JS, former Secretary- Treasurer of the Canadian DX Association.

ELIGIBILITY: The Canadian Contest Championship (CCC) is open to any Canadian Amateur operating from a Canadian location in the SIngle Operator (Unassisted) Mode in any of the contests listed below. There is no specific entry form required. Each Canadian participant in one of the listed contests enters the CCC automatically by submitting an official entry to the sponsors of any of the contests. Please submit your entry no matter how small it may seem.

CONTESTS: Participation in the following contests will count, if there are at least 10 Canadian entries; - ARRL DX SSB - ARRL DX CW - ARRL SS SSB - ARRL SS CW - ARRL 160 CW - ARRL 10m - CQ WW SSB - CQ WW CW - CQ WPX SSB - CQ WPXW - CQ 160 SSB - CQ 160m CW - Canada Day - Canada Winter - IARU Radiospt - RSGB IOTA - Commonwealth Contest

SCORING: Results will be taken from the published results of each contest. The station placing first in each contest will receive a number of points equal to the number of entrants in that contest. The station placing second will receive one less point and so on, the last station receiving one point. All band, single band, SSB and CW entries will be listed together.

The final score for the CCC will be the sum of the best five scores of each entrant. To be eligible for an award, an operator must enter at least 4 contests. It would be very much appreciated if operators who use special calls or prefixes notify the undersigned at any of the addresses below so that proper credit may be given where due.

AWARDS in the form of certificates, wil be presented to the overall winner and to the winners in each Canadian Call Area, i.e. VE1-9, VO1, VO2, VY1 and VY2, provided there are at least three entrants from an area.
