Awards Rules

The Platform may provide awards, certificates, rankings, statistics, achievements, or similar recognition based on information available within the Service.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, these are Platform-issued awards.

They should not be interpreted as awards issued or officially recognized by an external amateur-radio organization.

Eligibility rules may include confirmed contacts, bands, modes, entities, geographical areas, dates, or other criteria.

Award rules may be changed where necessary to correct errors, prevent abuse, improve fairness, or introduce new features.

Fraudulent or manipulated contacts may be excluded. Awards obtained through abuse may be revoked.

We make reasonable efforts to calculate statistics, matches, and awards correctly.

However, results may depend upon: information submitted by users; incomplete logs; inaccurate ADIF fields; software errors; callsign changes; entity definitions; matching tolerances; historical records; or other technical factors.

Accordingly, Platform statistics and awards should not automatically be treated as official regulatory records.
