[CQ-Contest] Posting realtime scores?

[David Kopacz]

I'll have to agree, it is definitely more fun to contest while watching
the real time scoreboard.

I know I am a sponsor, but putting that aside, I think Gerry (W1VE) has
developed a very useful and FUN tool for the amateur community. I wish
people would get over the fear of "letting the competitors know where we
stand" and use the real time scoreboard. The more the merrier!

Try it once and you'll be hooked, I promise!

Because it adds to the fun in real time.  No more operating in a vacuum
not
knowing if you are even in the running.  Now you can compete in real
time!
Get your friends or club members to do it and compete in real time
amongst
yourselves or compare to the rest of the world.  Lots more fun than
waiting
for weeks or months to get some idea how you did.  It can also be used
as a
tool to entice non-contesters, it shows them in real time that something
IS
really happening that weekend, a magazine article 9 months later does
nothing to get them on the air THIS WEEKEND!  And for multi-ops like
mine
where I have operators coming and going all weekend it gives the 'off'
operators a chance to keep an eye on what is happening, so even if they
can't be here they can enjoy a bit of the action.
