=============================
ASIA-PACIFIC Sprint Contest (revised January 2007
============================= updated October 2008)
The Asia-Pacific Sprint Contest Committee would like to announce the latest
running of this spectacular radiosporting event - note changes in the rules:
Objective:
For stations outside the Asia-Pacific region to work as many Asia-Pacific
stations as possible within the 2 hour time limit.
For stations inside the Asia-Pacific region to work as many stations as
possible, anywhere in the world, within the 2 hour time limit.
(A complete list of the Asia-Pacific countries is defined below)
Awards:
1 For each contest, an official AP Sprint T-shirt will be awarded to the top
three winners in the Asia-Pacific Region, and the winner of each continent
outside the Asia-Pacific region. Winners must have at least 5 QSO's in the
log to be eligible for this prize. One can recieve only one T-shirt in the
same calender year. If a winner does not recieve a T-shirt for the 2nd or 3rd
win in a year, it will be awarded to the runner-up.
2 At the end of each calendar year, an official AP Sprint Plaque will be
awarded to the top three winners in the Asia-Pacific Region, and the winner
of each continent outside the Asia-Pacific region. The winners are
determined by summing the ranking of the 3 sprints of the same calendar year.
The winners must participate all 3 sprints of the year to be eligible for
this prize. This prize is sponsored by CQ Ham radio (Japan).
- Example: If one's results for the 3 sprints of the same calendar year were
2nd, 5th and 1st, then his/her points for the year would be 8 (=2+5+1).
The one with the least point would be the winner.
- This prize is not awarded to a station, but to an operator. An individual
who operated more than one station in the same region in the same calendar
year is eligible for this prize. Conversely, a station operated by
different operators in the same calendar year is not eligible for this
prize.

Log Instruction:
Only electronic logs sent by email are accepted.
All entries must contain complete QSO information plus a summary indicating
your claimed score and T-shirt size. Each QSO information must include band,
date, time, callsign, sent nr and received nr. If any of those are not shown
in the log, it will be checklog. The operator's callsign and name has to be
indicated if the operator is different than of the owner of the station used
or if the station used is not owned by an individual. Entries without a
summary may be treated as a checklog. (The summary contained in the Cabrillo
log satisfies this requirement)
Electronic logs in Cabrillo format are strongly recommended. In any case,
the log & summary must be in ASCII format (no binary files nor non-English
characters, please). The file name of the electronic log must be your
callsign. (For example, 9V1YC.CBR for Cabrillo log) The electronic log
file must be attached to the email.
The subject of the email must contain your callsign.
