An excellent initiative from the International CW Council (ICWC) to which many CW Clubs belong under the motto "Stronger Together" — is the "Top 9" — so, what is it?
TOP 9 is an encouragement to have QSO in the top 9 kHz of the CW-exclusive sub band, on 30m that means between 10121 and 10130 kHz.
We may suggest that for those interested in the 30m QSO Party if you find the suggested frequency for that day or band area already QRL, just go into the top 9 and CQ there!

Being currently DX, I could only listen in via Twente Web SDR and heard two DL stations taking part having a good rag chew as it happens, what a great idea, let's have fun with it!
