what they do - they try to maintain more or less leveled ratings for contest ops.... not only by score, but also by power level and location. something like if somebody took first place in CQWW from Maine and another guy took second place from PA - his rating will be adjusted for PA location and he might get a higher rating, because he was doing much better from PA then somebody half-way closer to Europe...
