As promised (drumroll please), here are the rules for the TCARC ICCC sponsored by your loyal and faithful TCARC Contest Committee.

TCARC Intra-Club Contest Competition Rules

0) Entry restricted to current TCARC members only. This means you'd better renew come Jan 1 of each year!

1) We "randomly" pick regular contests run by other groups to piggyback. If there is a contest you would like to be considered for the ICCC, email n2vr@arrl.net.

2) You must operate in the contest according to the sponsor's rules.

3) You must submit an entry per their rules to the official sponsor and CC it to the TCARC ICCC scoring official, n2vr@arrl.net to enter the ICCC. This usually means you prepare your electronic log and summary sheet in accord with the rules of the contest, name the file(s) and email it all to a specific address mentioned in the contest rules. Simply CC your entry to n2vr@arrl.net and you're entered in the TCARC ICCC as well.

4) Single op entries will be the PRIMARY class of consideration toward the TCARC ICC awards. However, if someone does a real bang-up job at multi-single, multi-multi or multi-rover we'll certainly consider handing out an appropriate certificate recognizing their effort as well.

5) Highest score received by N2VR at the end of the entry submission window for the contest will receive a special, custom, one-off, possibly color certificate! Wow! Imagine that!!! Look at it as more wallpaper for your shack. Show it to your friends, impress your visitors, let them bask in your glory. And so forth.

6) The same person can't win more than one award in a three-month period. So we GUARANTEE three different winners in the first three months! Yessir, you can take that to the bank.

In short folks, this is to prod everybody into taking that final step and actually ENTERING the actual contest. Who knows -- if you're the only one who enters, you'll win even if you only ran for 10 minutes and got 3 contacts!

Contact N2VR via email at n2vr@arrl.net or via this reflector with any questions, comments or better suggestions for the rules. This is a work in progress, let's make it a good one.

See you in the pileups! 73 de N2VR
