The Canadian Contest Championship is sponsored by Radio
Amateurs of Canada in order to generate interest in contest operating among
Canadian Amateurs and to provide a measure of the performance of Canadian
Contest operators. It was formerly sponsored by "The Canadian DX Association (CANAD-X)"

Operator (Unassisted) Mode in any of the contests listed below. There is no
specific entry form required. Each Canadian operating in one of the listed
contests enters CCC automatically by submitting an official entry to the
sponsors of the contest. Please submit your entry no matter how small it may
seem.

CATEGORIES: There will be three categories QRP (5
Watts or less output), Low Power (6 Watts to 150 Watts output) and Max Power (up
to the legal limit output). *In the two contests noted above, results are not
separated by power. These contests will count to the category in which the
majority of an operator's contests lie, but may not be used toward QRP scores.
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 average number of Canadian entrants in all CCC
contests in 2001. For the year 2003 this number is 52. The station placing
second will receive one less point and so on, until either 1 point is reached,
or the last entrant is reached, whichever comes first. After that, zero points
will be awarded. All band, single band, SSB and CW entries will be listed
together.
The final score for the Canadian Contest Championship will be
the sum of the best five scores of each entrant. To be eligible for an award in
any category, an operator must enter at least 4 contests in that category.
AWARDS in the form of a certificates, will be
presented to the overall winners in each category and to the winners of each
category in each Canadian Call Area, i.e. VE1-9, VO1, VO2, VY0, VY1 and VY2,
provided there are at least three entrants from an area.
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.
