Ken is right that WRTC "real-time" scoring is a much different situation
with referees on site at each WRTC station as opposed to "home stations
linked to some central server via the Internet." I believe Ev's proposal
could also exclude rovers, portables, DX stations and others who are not
connected to the Internet while operating the contest. Additionally as Ken notes "Any real-time system will have to address issues like whether the qso and mult totals received for K5TR are really being sent by K5TR and not someone else. Will it become fashionable to overstate your progress in the contest to intimidate your opponents? Will it become fashionable to understate your progress in order to lull them into complacency?" "Forming a small committee of Amateur radio young 'uns who also on-line game to provide input as to how on-line game sites deal with these issues would be in order." - W2EV On-line PC gaming servers can be and are often "hacked." Players commonly use "cheats" to get the advantage while playing on-line games. In fact there is a program called "punk buster" used to combat cheats. This is a significant problem with on-line gaming and amateur radio contesting "on-line" would have to consider and address potential "cheats." - Jon N0JK From: "Kenneth E.
