Gerry,
The realtime score reporting has added a new neat dimension to radiosport
here, whether I am set up for single op assisted, or non-assisted, or
multiop.
It has really been a nice motivator to keep going. What frequently happens
is that I/we are close in score to someone I/we never heard of before, and
we then run a horserace, sometimes ahead, sometimes behind. We kind of find
our own level in the stack. I usually only take a close look at it before or
after a break, which is also when I check the various reflectors e-mails
etc.
I've tried it now for 4 or 5 events, and the nature of each experience has
been surprisingly different but always has been a very positive increase in
the fun factor.
Thanks and 73,
Chet, N8RA

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
