Ken is right that WRTC "real-time" scoring is a much different situation


I hope I haven't misstated something along the way. I used WRTC2002 simply as an example of "out of the box" thinking only.

The system that is being envisioned has participants logging-in and authenticating to a site that would handle all of the logging and dupe-checking for the contestant. There's nothing to misinterpret or mis-state.

So in your viewpoint, "always-on" Internet connectivity is a requirement to participate in such a real-time event? (If that's determined up-front, a computer system probably could be designed relatively easier than a system that has to handle live and post-processed logs later from other stations.)


It also probably eliminates rover activity from such a contest, except for the rovers that will go through the headaches to find wireless Internet solutions.
