[CQ-Contest] Live Scoreboard upcoming events

[David Kopacz]

The 6Y1V CQ WPX M/2 operation will be posted live via WinTest.

Is there any way to get DX scores at the top of the live score board. It
is really cumbersome to have to repeatedly scroll to see the DX entries.

I have a few suggestions how this can be accomplished:

1) Place a radio button at the top of the page allowing the page visitor
to choose between displaying US or DX first on the page. It would
actually be better if people could select their operating category (i.e.
DX M/2 or US SOAB A) and display it first at the top of the page. After
all, this is the group we want to watch, isn't it? (Gerry mentioned this
was possible, but I don't see how to do it)

2) Automate the process and display the appropriate group (US or DX)
based on IP address. As you are aware, there are lots of places to look
up geographical locations for IP addresses.

3) Give me a waiver since I host the thing and put me at the top of all
lists...LOL! Sorry, I couldn't help myself...I am just kidding about
this one.

I was asked about getting the live scoreboard running for bartg rtty
this
weekend... it's a bit late now.  PLEASE, if you want to have an event
use
the live scoreboard, contact me or w1ve well in advance.  A good idea is
when you start testing your logger to be sure its set up with the right
macros and works properly a COUPLE WEEKS BEFORE A CONTEST (you do that
right??) you can test the scoring on the live scoreboard test page and
make
sure the contest shows in the list of upcoming events.  Setting it up
the
day the contest starts doesn't give anyone time to test or to get the
word
out to the appropriate groups that the scoreboard will be active.  

NOW is the time to set up events for April!

The live scoreboard is set up now for the following upcoming events:
CQ WPX SSB 3/29-30

Please contribute your scores and pass the word on to anyone else who
may be
interested.  If your logger doesn't support the live scoreboard yet
contact
the author and have them get in touch with W1VE or myself for more
information on how to submit scores and sample code.

If there are other contests you would like to see it set up for please
send
me the following information:
1. Cabrillo Log Identifier (like RUSSIAN-DX, CQ-WPX-SSB, NA-SPRINT-RTTY,
etc)
2. Number of multipliers
3. Start date and time in utc
4. End date and time in utc
5. Sponsor web site link
