1. Eligibility: All licensed amateurs worldwide.
2. Object: To contact as many other amateurs, especially IARU member society HQ stations, around the world as possible using the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meter bands.
3. Date and Contest Period: The second full weekend of July, beginning 1200 UTC Saturday and ending 1200 UTC Sunday (July 8-9, 2000). Both Single and Multi operator stations may operate the entire 24-hour period.
4. Entry Categories:
4.1.2. One person performs all operating and logging functions.
4.1.3. Use of spotting nets or packet is not permitted.
4.1.4. All operators must observe the amateur radio regulations of their country at all times.
4.1.5. Single operator stations are allowed only one transmitted signal at any given time.

4.2.3. All operators must observe the amateur radio regulations of their country at all times.
5. Contest Exchange:
5.2. All others send signal report and ITU zone.
5.3 A complete exchange must be logged for each valid QSO.
6. Valid Contact:
6.2. A station may only be worked for credit in the portion of the band that is generally accepted for the mode used.
6.2.2. Cross mode, cross band and repeater contacts are not valid QSOs.
6.3 Where contest-preferred segments are incorporated in regional band plans, participants should observe them.
6.4 The use of non-amateur radio means of communications (eg, telephone or the Internet) for the purpose of soliciting a contact (or contacts) during the contest period is inconsistent with the spirit and intent of these rules.
6.5 Active use of packet (i.e. "please come work me" or other self-spotting techniques) is inconsistent with the spirit and intent of these rules.
7. QSO Points:
7.2. Contacts within your continent (but different ITU zone) count three points.
7.3. Contacts with a different continent and IARU zone count five points.

9. Scoring: The total number of QSO points times the total number of multipliers worked.
10. Reporting:
10.2. For 2000, the Cabrillo file format is preferred for electronic entries, but any previously acceptable ASCII text format will be accepted. Spreadsheet or program document files (example: Excel, Word) do not meet file format requirements.
10.2.2. Any entry which has been generated using a computer (either during the contest or after the contest) must be submitted either as an attachment to an email or on a 3.5-inch diskette.
10.2.3. Electronic files must use the entrant's callsign as the file name.

10.2.7. Electronic entries may be sent by anonymous FTP to: ftp.arrl.org/logs/
10.3. Paper logs must clearly indicate for each contact: band, mode, date, time (in UTC) callsigns, complete exchanges sent and received, multipliers and QSO points.
10.3.2. Paper logs with more than 500 QSO's must include dupe sheets.
10.3.3. All contacts in paper logs must be in chronological order, not separated by bands.
10.4. All paper entries must include an official summary sheet or reasonable facsimile thereof with complete contest information.
11. Awards:
11.2. A certificate will be awarded to the highest scoring IARU member society HQ station.

13. Disqualification: Any entry may be disqualified if the overall score is reduced by more than 2%. Score reductions do not include correction of arithmetic errors. Any entry may be disqualified if more than 2% of duplicate QSOs are left in the log. A three-QSO reduction will be assessed for each duplicate QSO found during log checking or for mis-copied callsigns.
