It is http://getscores.org/ , not .com.

As I understand it, no. It's analogous to sending out packet spots, but not
receiving them.

Looking at Getscores during a contest is on shaky ground. It gives you
information obtained from the internet (non-radio means) about how your
competition is doing. It also gives you real-time information on what bands
are open/active.

I've used Getscores when playing in a contest just to see what the buzz is
about.  I would not use it for a serious effort because of the above shaky
reasons . It's also very distracting.
