This will enhance the scoring process by having a standard format.

(For example, if you work a station with no affiliation with any of the three clubs, you get 1 point. If you work a station with a 10-10 number you get 2 points, up to 4 points for working a station with numbers from all three clubs.)
No multipliers.
