Contest Category Shopping Is Changing Your Contest Category After the Contest Acceptable and Ethical? Question Title * 1. With the use of the 3830 scores reporting web site, it has become possible to look at the 3830 posted scores and decide to change your entry category before you submit your log to the contest sponsor. Examples are moving from Multi-Single to MultiMulti or Non-Assisted. This is generally not against any rules, but many consider it to be unethical or unacceptable behavior.Do you feel that changing your contest category after the contest is over is unethical? Yes, it is unethical and I think contest rules should specifically prohibit. Yes, I consider it unethical but there really is no way to enforce it for most contests. No, I don't think it is unethical but it is in that gray area that gives me the heebie jeebies. No, I don't see any issue with it - 3830 score reports have no official standing and ops can choose their category up until they send the log in to the sponsor.
