[CQ-Contest] Online scoreboard

[Jim McDonald]

I enjoy the online scoreboard a lot.  Yes, it's interesting when I see the competition change bands, but that really doesn't affect my choice of band (unless I'm not paying attention).

It keeps me focused.  I like watching the N1MM rate bar chart in the info window; it helps me know when to change bands.

The online Scoreboard is the present and the future.. I can't wait for sponsors to start compelling its use.
Without the scoreboard I would have never taken the interest I have in Contesting. I suspect many others are the same.  I cannot fathom the reasons people have for lurking in the shadows.
I'm proud to post my Class *before* the contest, to post my score during. I have nothing to hide and it's very enjoyable to participate with hundreds of others.
I forget about most contests long before the results come out.. The scoreboard gives a real time challenge, feedback and Fun factor that could never be achieved otherwise. Thankfully, in most major contests, the winners are on the scoreboard and the others are inconsequential.

Check the Box... Post to the scoreboard, help Helping Contesting.
