Hi,
I've updated the score submission form on 3830scores.com. Although the only
change for most contests is a rearrangement of the form layout, a major change
has been implemented for selected contests, such as this weekend's ARRL DX SSB.
Rather than the historical approach of listing categories that pretty much
match the contest sponsor's categories, the form for DX SSB has a series of
category selectors that are based on the Cabrillo log spec's categories. The
advantage of this approach for a contest like ARRL DX is that it allows the
entrant to better describe their operation. For example, a participant may have
operated as single band assisted, but the ARRL doesn't recognize that category
and lumps all assisted operations into all band. Similarly, some operate low or
QRP power in single band unassisted, but the ARRL doesn't recognize different
power levels for single band operations.
The form processing automatically converts the Cabrillo categories into the
sponsor's defined categories and both are shown in the details of a posted
score. The score summaries web pages will be updated over the next day or so to
allow selection of either sponsor categories or Cabrillo categories when
displaying tabular results.
Please send me any questions/comments/suggestions. Thanks.
