Hi all, This weekend we expect good activity on the score board ( https://contestonlinescore.com ) since we have disabled breakdown info for the NAQP contests. We think that would be safe now for sin
I do not understand why you feel an obligation to remove features from the scoreboard to prevent an entry being considered as "assisted." "Access to spotting information obtained directly or indirect
I'm inclined to agree with Randy, so long as the NAQP rules are written as they are. However, the definition of assistance could be expanded to include tactical information such as competitors' band
"Any entry class may post their scores to a live scoreboard (e.g., cq-contest.ru or getscores.org). A single operator may view the scores on a live scoreboard site, but should not view the band break
One difference in NAQP is the required off time. I noticed watching the scoreboard that I could tell when people were taking time off. My score would be moving up the stack as the other scores stayed

Randy, Kelly, Rudy, Thanks a lot for for your opinion. Please don't take our decision on disabling bands breakdowns as the last one which never could be changed. I understand your points and honestly
Victor, Rudy is probably onto something about trying to stay out of the middle of the assisted/non-assisted discussions. Here's my thought on what you may want to look into, and make your own decisio
It should be at the discretion of nobody but the contest committees for individual contests as to what is permitted and what is not. (Subject to laws, of course.) It should not be, with all due respe
Hi Victor, Thanks. I voted, but the poll lacks nuance. In the case of contests that specifically bar the practice for non-assisted stations, you're closer to onside than offside, even if your practic
I understand, although I don't think such an unscientific survey should drive the decision... My request (suggestion) is that you make the breakdowns available. Leave it up to the individual ops whet
