I claimed 102 points in this year's RD. It will be interesting to see what the official results list shows.
My claimed score in several other annual contests is rarely the same as the final results but (in my case) it generally points to poor logging at the other end. Typically wrong time, wrong band, wrong grid details.. in their log but the penalty comes at my end. The issue is usually paper logs being used, multi ops maybe not as proficient as they might be, who knows what else ? A time-synced computer, VKCL software with rig control (and a single operator) has minimised most of these effects at my end
We can only do our best - and hope for better than their worst.
