Re: Adding new contests to CX, TLF, etc.
The plan is to make this possible in TLF.
This is already existing in conceptional form.
Not as easy as it looks like though... People are very creative in the way
multipliers are handled... I tried this idea for the PACC (mults are
countrys, but not your own, and for a number of countrys they are call
areas), and found it was difficult to modularize...
Anyway, in version 0.4.5 of tlf the logcfg.dat file was introduced, which is
meant to do just what you want. Set the points and set the mults.
Give it some time..
