Confusing subject but basically what it is. Under Awards/WAS/20m the standings shows 2 states needed. Click standings. At the bottom of the states listing it shows 3 states needed. The 3 seems the correct number based on that listing. Maybe a software issue?

Yes, on the main awards screen it just counts the number of unique state entities you have earned and subtracts it from 50. If you have worked both DC and MD that will result in the number being off by 1. To get the real picture you need to go to the standings screen, the logic there does more work and knows that DC and MD only count as one credit.

I've been bugging the webmaster for a while now to do something about it, but for now just remember to look at the standings screen to get the real picture of what your status is.
