[CQ-Contest] Status of getscores.org?

[Igor Sokolov]

Rudy,
There is help right on the web site or you can ask  all these questions by sending email to admin at cqcontest.ru 
The type of integration into the logger you require is up to authors of logger software. Ask the author of you favorite logger software. I  am quite satisfied with my contest logger (TR4W) in that respect.

  Igor, this is great! I'd love to learn more about these features.

  For the upcoming CQWW SSB, how do I get the CQWW look and feel of the contest? I am not talking about clicking check boxes and getting different rows of data, but truly looking at a site that has the same color scheme, layout, etc. as the CQWW site. Or, how do I see a YCCC, PVRC, etc. specific site?

  On the logger side, how do I display my current ranking in the N1MM score info window? Again, I am not talking about getting the data by visiting the site, but being able to see it right there, in my logger, without going to the site.

  I must admit it has been a couple of months since my last visit to cqcontest.ru so I will check it out again over the weekend.

  As far as participation goes, it needs to be promoted at the grass-root level, club level, and contest organizers level as the means of adding more fun and excitement to contesting.

  Rudy,
  Most of what you have mentioned in your post is already implemented in cqcontest.ru (club specific, contest specific, integration with different loggers). I know, that many contest participants are watching the data on that site during the contest but very few choose to post their own data. Guess why?

  Perhaps these sites can implement contest-specific, club-specific, etc. approach to branding so that there is more encouragement coming from sponsors or grass-root organizations. For example, getscores.org/cqww will properly display the results using the existing look and feel of the CQ brand. Such implementations are trivial using open source platforms, such as WordPress, and CSS "skins"

  To push the idea even further, how about two-way integration with N1MM and other loggers where the contest info window not only shows your score, but also displays ranking based on the data submitted to the site. The opportunities for fun are endless!

  Cqcontest.ru was also used officially for real-time scoring in the
  Scandinavian Activity Contest's "National Team Contesting Trial"
  (http://www.sactest.net/blog/sac-2012-national-team-contesting-trial/) this
  year. In addition to the scores, the site has the ability to embed
  audio+video streams from the stations.

  The comments regarding the trial have been very positive. Hopefully these
  kinds of real-time features will become more popular, because they add a
  whole new social dimension to the contest experience.
