Tom,

One thing I forgot to mention, and maybe you already know, is that 3830 
is not "official".  It's just a  place where folks who choose to can 
submit scores.  While I would guess that almost everyone who submits to 
3830 also sends a log to the contest sponsor,  the reverse isn't true. 
  Not everyone who sends a log to  the contest sponsor for  award 
consideration sends a score to 3830.    You can get a rough idea where 
you stand by looking at scores on 3830, but you will probably wind up 
further down the list  in the official standings.
