[CQ-Contest] Scourges of Contesting, Chapter One

[N7MAL]

Why not make it optional??????
I think it would add intrigue, how is N6TJ doing.

As a member of the "Great Audience" I looked at the scores as a
curiosity/novelty. It had no effect on whether I contested more or less.

Can we leave this decision to the Great Audience
i.e. the spectators?

Technology exists.
We can make this happen.

If showing this information is of interest and
somehow gets more people to participate,
this is good..?

Based on the interest the Great Audience showed
to the 2002 near-live scoreboard, this will
succeed in getting people to be interested in
contesting.
