[CQ-Contest] Contest dashboards

[Joe]

I wonder if a poll could be made on this subject?

"Do you like to be able to see what all your competition is doing in a 
contest"?

Not so much as What , but Live scores. etc.

I have been contesting since 1975, 90% of the time at a minimal station. 
Low power, with low dipoles, etc.

But used to be a guy that was invited to run some great stations. And 
Wow! That is fun!

But when as a small station, Maybe I'm a minority here. I find it 
personally deflating or defeating to see how well others are doing 
compared to me.

Say you are trying your best, and are in a contest that has serial 
numbers, or you look at one of the live scoreboards, and you see 1/2 of 
the people have double your score. Not a little more but DOUBLE, your 
score. Now I may be in a minority here, but to me that just kills it 
some. It just seems a LOT less fun to me.

So the question is,

"Do you like to see how others are doing compared to you"?
