Super
League
--
Winter 2010-11 |
| This is a contest to find
the "AFS Contest Club of the Year" from those who enter some or all of
the four RSGB Affiliated Society contests. It rewards societies who
field teams operating both above and below 30MHz: the winning society
will have achieved consistent high places in all four events, without
necessarily winning any one of them. The rules for the contributing
contests are unchanged, which means that the teams representing each
Affiliated Society need not be the same on HF, VHF and UHF. |

No entry is necessary --
entries will be made automatically by the Contest Committee. |

The results of the four AFS
contests contribute to the Super-League: (a) The 144MHz Affiliated Societies Contest, December 2010 (b) Affiliated Societies Team Contest, 80m CW, January 2011 (c) Affiliated Societies Team Contest, 80m SSB, January 2011 (d) The 432MHz Affiliated Societies Contest, February 2011 Please note that the members of a club's team or teams need not be the same for each contributing contest. |

The position of the Team or
Club listing for each Affiliated Society entering any of the four
contributing contests will be normalised to produce Super League Points
(SLPs), which are then added together to produce an overall SLP score.
The normalisation is carried out according to the following formula,
with the result rounded to the nearest integer: SLP = (N+1-P)*1000/N where N is total number of teams in the results table, and P is the position of the team in the results table. For example, if there are 50 teams entering the event (N=50), the team in first position (P=1) would receive 1000 SLPs. The team in 50th position (P=50) would receive 20 SLPs. The team in 26th position (P=26) would receive 500 SLPs Where a single club has more than one team entering any of the four AFS contests, only the SLPs from the club's top-scoring team for that contest will be included in the Super League table, contributing towards the overall Super League score. |

The winner of the Super
League is the club with the highest total of SLPs at the end of the
fourth contributing contest. The maximum possible SLP score (if a club
won all four events) would be 4000 SLPs. A running SLP total will be
published on the Contest Committee web site after each event. |

The winner of the Super
League will receive an award as "AFS Contest Club of the Year".
Certificates will also be presented to the Affiliated Societies
achieving 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th positions in the Super League. Each
team member contributing to these Society's scores will receive a
certificate. |
| (6) |
A Certificate of
Achievement will be awarded to any Affiliated Society which enters all
four of the AFS contests in the Super-League, and where its score in
each one is 500 SLPs or more, that is, where it appears in the top half
of each AFS contest table. |

The decisions of the RSGB
Contest Committee in relation to this contest are final. |
