(Araucaria) Fwd: WRTC 2014 Team Selection Critera Released

[Luc PY8AZT]

Caros,

Os critérios de seleção para o WRTC2014 já foram definidos e
anunciados oficialmente.
Por algum motivo, a página oficial (www.wrtc2014.org) não está
acessível no Brasil.
O Randy me passou um link alternativo que está funcionando:
https://sites.google.com/site/wrtc2014/team-selection

Eu havia solicitado ao comitê que considerasse a inclusão do MMAA
Contest nos critérios de seleção para o time brasileiro, porém não foi
acatado.

Também pedi que considerassem a possibilidade dos brasileiros
disputarem pela vaga como sede (WRTC2006) e pela vaga sulamericana.
Também não foi acatado, e o comitê deve ter cometido um engano, pois o
jogo ficou ainda mais difícil para as estações brasileiras e
sulamericanas.

De acordo com o que está publicado no site do WRTC2014, haverá 2 times
sulamericanos. Um SA#1 para a zona 11 (PY e ZP) e outro SA#2 que deve
ter um time da américa do sul ou do norte - não ficou muito claro.
Estranho é que o Brasil perdeu a prerrogativa de disputar uma vaga
sozinho por ter sido sede em 2006.

Abaixo o email do Randy K5ZD.

The WRTC 2014 Organizing committee is pleased to announce the release of the
Team Selection Criteria for WRTC 2014. A committee led by three time WRTC
champion, Dan Street, K1TO, worked very hard to make the selection process
fair for all parts of the world.

There will be 50 Team Leaders selected through qualifying events between
October 2010 and March 2013. A Youth Team will also be selected from the
applicants under age 25.

The number of qualifying events varies based on selection area: W/VE/KP2/KP4
= 49; other North America = 43; Pacific ARRL Section = 38; other Oceania =
32; Europe = 30; All others = 28.

The total of the 12 best event scores will be used for qualifying.

Other changes and highlights include:
* New qualifying contests are All Asian DX, NAQP, and Oceania DX.

* The category weighting for several categories has been increased.
 Single operator Low Power is 0.9 (up from 0.7).  Multi-single is
 1.0 (up from 0.9).

* Single band scores will count for qualifying points.

* The selection areas have been adjusted based on level of contest
 participation in major contests over the past two years. The selection
 areas from Europe and Asia have been changed based on input received
 from those areas.

* In areas of the world with lower participation and large geographies,
 we have introduced split score comparison areas. For example, there
 will be only 1 Africa team, but the score comparisons are done on
 Africa North/West vs. Africa South/East.

The defending champions of RW1AC/RA1AIP will receive the only automatic
place in WRTC 2014. The organizing committee has reserved several wild card
slots to allow invitations to exceptional qualifiers who did not otherwise
earn a place through the qualifying process.
