Sorry if this is a dupe, but I didn't see it come through on cq-contest.
Gerry has done some more work on getscores.org as detailed below. Right now
it is running as if both naqp ssb and jan vhf are in progress if you want to
test. Sometime either tomorrow night or Saturday morning after we are done
testing it will switch back to the proper start times to clear out the
testing scores.
Personally I would sure like to see more of the big m/m and other top
scorers get into this. Even if you don't want to watch for yourself, its
interesting for those of us who do to have a big target to shoot for!

Subject: [YCCC] Getscores.org Changes/Improvements...
Thanks to a lot of feedback from the community, I've implemented a few
changes to increase functionality:
The scoreboard will now track more than one contest at a time. This is
important for weekends like the upcoming one,
where we have two popular contests -- NAQP and ARRL VHF. Now, choose your
contest and go ahead and post.
The "testing" page has been modified to show all fields, including the
contest name. It will be pre-pended with [TEST] if you post outside the
valid contest hours (UTC) for a specific contest. If you want to test that
your scoring to the site properly, just fire up your logger, post a score,
and take a look at http://www.getscores.org/testing.aspx.
There are some challenges left -- VHF multiplier breakdowns are still an
issue (you'll see a dash right now); and, though it is a great contest, the
Stew Perry is a challenge for both this site and loggers, as far as
reporting goes.
Activity continues to increase... What a blast to watch the big guns and
little pistols compete!
I look forward to your feedback and seeing you on the air -- and on
getscores!
A big THANKS to Dave, K1TTT, who has been a constant supporter and champion
for this site!
73,
Gerry, W1VE/6Y6C
