All:
I would first like to say how appreciative I am of all the hard work that goes
into scoring and sponsoring a contest. Since this labor of love is for the
most part done strictly by volunteers, I can assume the hardware, bandwidth,
storage and dedicated human resources vary wildly amongst different projects
which in turn impact publication times. From a scorers perspective, what are
the most time consuming tasks? I can make my own general assumptions (paper
logs, wide gap in time-stamps, exchange anomalies, multiple script runs etc.),
yet this means nothing since I've never participated in this activity.
While on this topic, are there generally accepted norms for things like
time-stamp discrepancy allowances or other fungible factors? Does each contest
have their own scoring schema? A bit curious since I've never come across any
sort of published algorithm on how scoring should be done.
Thanks,
Joe N2TEE
