Of course! What you are suggesting is "low hanging
fruit", easy to "pick". It makes sense.

Change everything for the better. Participants will
be held accountable for their operation in the court
of public observation. That unto itself scares a lot
of people. I view it as empowering and motivating.

That is what realtime scoring does. The advantage is
that you remove the phrase "sooner or later" from your
statement. You know how you did at the end of the
event. No waiting, no volunteers to berate for not
getting certificates printed and mailed, etc.
Is such a system fun? Ask the six folks who tried it
on Wednesday night. They're the calls that appear in
the screenshot from my log on the website:
