As I think you know, we've been working on contest score boards for almost 
the past year. The method employed for the WRTC scoreboard worked because 
there were referees who periodically entered the score of each competitor. 
Although this method has been made available for some past major contests, 
the experience is that very few contesters are willing to take the time to 
manually enter their scores in a scoreboarding system. For that reason 
we've been working on methods that are based on the contester's logging 
software periodically posting his/her score.
