So does this mean that Ping Jockey is not permitted during a contest, since
it is used to set up skeds during the contest, via the internet.

During the contest period, Ping Jockey (and other "chat rooms") is not permitted to be used to make skeds. Multi-op stations can certainly use Ping Jockey to get info on stations, as long as that station is not self-spotting or asking another to spot them.
