# Scoring

Xlog will keep track of your DXCC scoring and will display worked and confirmed countries and DXCC information in a separate window, called the scoring window. The top table of this window displays the number of times a country is worked or "0" if confirmed. The bottom table shows the total number of DXCC countries.

Xlog can also keep track of WAC (Worked All Continents), WAS (Worked All States), WAZ (Worked All Zones) and IOTA (Islands On The Air) scoring. You will have to enable it in the Scoring page of the "Settings Dialogs and Windows" dialog. This will add an extra page to the scoring window. The "Settings Dialogs and Windows" dialog can also be used to enable Grid Locator scoring. For this to work the log will need to have the Locator field added.

Xlog will look up the prefix of a callsign and display DXCC information together with calculated distance and beam heading in the left frame. In a log where a QTH locator field is present, distance and azimuth to the locator is calculated and displayed in a separate frame.

If DXCC lookup fails you can enter a valid country in the AWARDS field of the log. The correct format for this string is 'DXCC-' followed by the desired prefix (see ''Help DXCC list`` from the menu). You can search for countries which have failed to lookup by selecting ''Tools Find unknown countries`` from the menu. It will produce a list.

Continent lookups can be corrected by adding a 'WAC-' string followed by the continent to the AWARDS columns. Valid continent names are AS, AF, OC, NA, SA and EU. The same goes for WAZ scoring, the correct format for this is 'WAZ-' followed by a number from 0 to 50.

The AWARDS field can also be used to add WAS and IOTA scoring. The 'WAS-' string needs a US state added, valid US states are: AL, AK, AZ, AR, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI and WY. The "IOTA-" string needs a continent followed by a number, e.g. "IOTA-EU-038" is the island of Ameland of the Dutch northern coast.
