[CQ-Contest] Contest Scoreboards

Until we get to the point of having fully "Realtime" Contest Scoreboards, something like the above WRTC (URL) would be very cool.

Further, with some options to display ONLY specific stations of interest and no % changes (but perhaps band/mode tallies).  This would be very interesting for club competitions and selected member callsigns.

In other words, like for the ARRL SS:

1. NCCC, PVARC, etc. running club totals

2. Your own callsign plus 9 other club members who you suspect may be your closest competition (or the software can list these automatically).

I doubt there is a "serious" contester on the planet today who does not use a logging software program.  If the handful of known software vendors plugged in this capability and someone donated bandwidth, I think this would be a great addition to Contesting.

Packet/DX-Summit, et.al. are already here, so perhaps such a venue could simply be an add on module or something for monitoring purposes.

The key thing is to have "options", and to NOT (that's ***NOT*** have to use a mouse to scroll to see what you want to see).
