I don't think anyone missed anything. The point of Rick's post was that
submitting real time scores should be an obligation. That's just
silly. Our only obligation is to compete fairly and honestly. There
isn't even any obligation, moral or implied, to submit a log afterward.
And I sincerely doubt that anyone not already excited by the process of
making lots of contacts is going to get enthused by watching numbers
appear on a web page. Listening to contacts being made, possibly yes,
but not mere numbers. I enjoy watching basketball, so scores for me are
meaningful. I couldn't care less about tennis, though, and seeing set
points accumulate for people I don't relate to isn't going to provoke my
interest in the least.

Think outside the box. Think about how this or something else might encourage
other people to get into radio.
There was a time here in Colorado where a close group of guys got on for SS and
were quite competitive. I would have been pretty fun to watch them all with
live scoring.
I think XE2B takes it even further with live webcam.
Sorry so many of you missed the point or Rick's post.
