Perhaps these sites can implement contest-specific, club-specific, etc.
approach to branding so that there is more encouragement coming from sponsors
or grass-root organizations. For example, getscores.org/cqww will properly
display the results using the existing look and feel of the CQ brand. Such
implementations are trivial using open source platforms, such as WordPress, and
CSS "skins"
To push the idea even further, how about two-way integration with N1MM and
other loggers where the contest info window not only shows your score, but also
displays ranking based on the data submitted to the site. The opportunities for
fun are endless!

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] Status of getscores.org?
Cqcontest.ru was also used officially for real-time scoring in the
Scandinavian Activity Contest's "National Team Contesting Trial"
(http://www.sactest.net/blog/sac-2012-national-team-contesting-trial/) this
year. In addition to the scores, the site has the ability to embed
audio+video streams from the stations.
The comments regarding the trial have been very positive. Hopefully these
kinds of real-time features will become more popular, because they add a
whole new social dimension to the contest experience.
