| Ljubljana, Slovenia, February 12th, 1999
The Organizational Committee has checked all possible
options for WRTC2000 team selection. Not too many contesters replied to our appeal for
preliminary application from the Communiqué No.1, nor would different calculation methods
give best solutions for team selection. What you will find below is the national team
allocation based upon number of logs beating respective continent average score in
different categories. However, a certain number of wild-card teams are allocated to
different continents. Since Africa and Oceania only get one team each, teams will be
selected as wild-cards.
Please note that wild-card teams will be selected from the list of
applicants, so do not forget to apply! Certain number of applications have already been
received and they will be automatically assigned to the list.
Send your e-mail applications to: scc@bit.si
or mail them to the following address:
