Working numbers can work, but it is arbitrary and not the most effective. It really accomplishes nothing but dividing the pileup. It accomplishes nothing more. There are better ways.
The DXpeditioner should be paying attention to propagation and where/whom he is working. An important DXpedition must pay attention to the "target" area, the one of the three population centers in the world that is be the most difficult. Working by continents accomplishes this as well as dividing the pileup. Where you have two more-or-less equal targets you can even run two separate pileups, one in each area. Yes, it can be done, even on CW. Even Europe!
