The requirement for submission within 2 hours supposes that contestants,
even those operating /P in remote locations, have a live Internet link. The
next logical step is to require all contest participants to enter QSOs into
a central scoring computer as they are made. [This could be a simple extra
feature in logging programmes.]

Instant live as it happens contest scoring!
Final results available as soon as the contest finishes!
Excitement for all as they watch teams jockeying for position!

You don't have to wait two weeks or more to know the result of a football
match or the effect of the result on the team's position in the league
tables, why should "radio sport" be so glacial?

But is this really what we want?
