[UK-CONTEST] Score publishing

[G3SJJ]

Agreed Dave, I think Don XTT's posting and my reply are relevant, but to 
add:

1 - Yes, positions do change but most people are aware of that and 
wouldn't really bother if they moved from say 6th to 7th or 9th to 8th. 
Again, a quick %age calculation would give you a clue as to what might 
happen. The main thing is to get the info out quickly.

2/3/4 - covered.

Pleased to hear marketing hasn't been forgotten. It is important!
