Collegiate Championship 
=======================
<Rules 2000/20.01.00>

Rules, Sixth Annual North American Collegiate
Amateur Radio Club Championship
 
Object: 
To encourage college and university stations in all ARRL 
(American Radio Relay League) and RAC (Radio Amateurs of/du Canada) 
sections to participate in the ARRL November Sweepstakes, compete 
against other college and university radio clubs, and improve on-campus 
radio stations.


Contest Rules: 
CW portion takes place on first full weekend of November
{01SAT11:2100:1800:CW}

phone portion takes place on third full weekend of November
{03SUN11-1:2100:1800:SSB}
 
Both start on Saturday 2100 UTC and end on Monday 0300 UTC. 
All rules, as stated in the October issue of QST, pertain to this collegiate 
competition. Participation limited to clubs at institutions of higher learning 
beyond the high school level.


Entry Categories: 
There is only one entry category in the Collegiate Championship. 
Colleges may enter Sweepstakes in any of the valid Sweepstakes entry categories.


Participation: 
All current club members, including alumni members, are allowed to participate.


Station Location: 
In an effort to encourage club station improvements all contacts must be made 
from the established club radio station located on a college campus, if one 
exists. No "portable" operation from a nearby contest "super station." A club 
may operate from a member's station provided that a club station on campus does 
not exist.


Scoring: 
CW and Phone scores are based on the results published in QST. 
The combined champion is based on a points system whereby each CW and phone 
score is divided by the highest scoring collegiate score for that mode and 
multiplied by 1000. The overall combined score is the sum of the CW and 
phone points.


Results: 
Separate champions will be determined for CW, phone and combined scores. 
Official results will be based on those published in QST so all contestants 
must submit a valid log to the ARRL. Contestants must also submit a score 
summary (the contest summary sheet, NOT a complete log!) to the collegiate 
contest moderator. Provisional scores and winners will be posted on the ham-univ 
and cq-contest Internet mail reflectors by the moderator and will be available 
on the Collegiate Championship home page (http://www.collegiatechampionship.org/).
