I have a rudimentary rules file which beyond the edited parameters from
the generic contest rules file I added:

#################################
#      Scoring rules            #
#################################
#
ITUMULT
MIXED
RECALL_MULTS

Perhaps I shouldn't really care about the scoring since it seems to be
logging OK.  For mults it is only counting the numeric zone.  Per the
IARU HFC rules, each HQ station should also count as a mult.  Right now
the only way to determine that is to assume that letter groups
constitute an HQ station and therefore a mult, e.g. ARRL, RAC, DARC,
etc.

Finally, the scoring is, as expected, unique.  Here is an extract from
the scoring and multiplier rules on the ARRL Web site:

7. QSO Points:

7.1. Contacts within your own ITU zone, as well as QSOs with any
IARU-member society HQ station or IARU official (counting as the special
multiplier), count one point each.

7.1.1. Contacts with a station in the same ITU zone but on a different
continent count one point.

7.2. Contacts within your continent (but different ITU zone) count three
points.

7.3. Contacts with a different continent and IARU zone count five
points.

8. Multipliers: The total number of ITU zones plus IARU member society
HQ stations worked on each band (not mode). IARU officials represent a
maximum of four multipliers per band (AC, R1, R2 and R3).

8.1. IARU member society HQ stations and officials do not count for zone
multipliers.

8.2. To qualify as the special multiplier, Administrative Council and
Regional Executive Committee stations must only be operated by the
individual station licensee as a single operator entry or as a multi
operator, single transmitter entry with significant participation by the
licensee.


I guess it's time to start hacking again.  ;-)

73, Nate
