Stan,
All these guys are posting their scores on 3830.com and raw scores are online
une week later (for major contests).
You don't have to wait some months !
About motivation to keep BIC, it's part of the game ! If somes are not able to
do it, they can take a break or play video games ;-)
IMHO, online scores gives nothing more than satisfying curiosity !
