WAE results have always been the role model for "customer service." 
In the old days, every participant would receive a small booklet with 
all the results, rules for next year, certificate and/or plaque if 
eligible, and blank paper logs, at no charge to the participant, of 
course. Now, it's all web based, with instant confirmation of 
submitted logs, high claimed scores, etc.
