1. EDI Logs - Polish evaluation shows edi logs of all participants - Czech evaluation shows only national participants edi logs                              Polish +  
2. Nr. of QSO - Polish evaluation doesn't count QSOs declared with 0 (zero) points - Czech evaluation shows all declared QSOs                         Czech +
3. Nr. of points - Polish evaluation has different evaluation of errors, then the Czech evaluation algorithm - details below
4. Average QSO QRB - Polish evaluation counts the from declared points - Czech evaluation counts avg from valid points                                   Czech +
5. Errors % - defferent results based on different evaluation  procedures - details here
6. PWR and antenna - this info is missing in Polish evaluation - Czech results publish these data   (not in sample above)                                   Czech +
7. Corrections of QRB, calculated by participant's - Polish evaluation shows the correction - Czech evaluation not                                              Polish +  
 

     Dissimilarity in points calculation:

  • perfect Polish error log consist of all faults summary and direct hypertext links to the opposite station contest log - more detail information for analyzing of any fault and helps to operator improve his skills. Czech error log is very limited and doesn't shows so many details        Polish + 
  • Polish error log shows complete contest log of evaluated station with detail notes - even for not penalized QSOs, Czech not               Polish +
  • Polish evaluation consider wrong reception (or typing) of opposite Call as a reason for points lost of both sides, Czech not                 Czech +
  • Found non konzistency in the Czech SW evaluation, sometimes the fault in received report was not considered (cross mode QSO?)  Polish + (?)
