EU DX Contest

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to cook a rules file for EU-DX Contest this weekend. The
point scoring part seems to work, but I'm struggling with the
multipliers.

---
SERIAL_OR_SECTION
MULT_LIST=eudxmults
SECTION_MULT
COUNTRY_MULT

COUNTRYLIST=OE,ON,LZ,9A,5B,OK,OZ,ES,OH,F,DL,SV,HA,EI,I,YL,LY,LX,9H,PA,SP,CT,YO,OM,S5,EA,SM
COUNTRY_LIST_POINTS=10
MY_COUNTRY_POINTS=2
MY_CONTINENT_POINTS=3
DX_POINTS=5
--

Basically, the rules (https://www.eudx-contest.com/rules/) for
exchanges are RST + NUTS2 region for EU countries (e.g. RO01, RO02,
etc) and RST + ITU Zone for non-EU. Point scoring is 10p for contact
with EU country other than your own, 2 for your own, 3 for same
continent, 5 for DX. The above config seems to work.

Multipliers are countries plus EU regions. The complication here is
that an EU callsign can be both a country multiplier and a EU region
multiplier. Looks like I can have one (after listing all the EU
regions in eudxmults), but not both. I am new to contesting so I'm not
sure if there's another contest with similar rules, any suggestions if
this can be done out of the box or does it require some coding?

(there is a "sect_multi = false;" in setcontest() that I had to
comment out because it overrides the SECTION_MULT in config, at least
in latest git)

TIA and 73 de YO3GEK,

Matei
