[CQ-Contest] Online scoreboard

[NT6X - Mike]

Transparency in contesting has come a long way in the last 10 yrs, which is a good thing. However, it's still a "competition" isn't it? We can exchange logs and stories after the contest, but I'm not about to give my competition any information (Score, QSO's, mults, what band I'm on, or if I'm taking off time) that would motivate them to keep BIC. Fighting your inner demons is part of the game. Perhaps the Scoreboards should limit viewing to only those participating.

Personally I get motivation from not knowing and wondering how my competition is doing. THAT keeps the adrenaline level through the roof and keeps me pushing the whole contest. If the sponsors ever made the Scoreboard mandatory, I would probably submit checklogs and just compete for myself.
