I wonder if a poll could be made on this subject?

"Do you like to be able to see what all your competition is doing in a contest"?

Not so much as What , but Live scores. etc.

I have been contesting since 1975, 90% of the time at a minimal station. Low power, with low dipoles, etc.

But used to be a guy that was invited to run some great stations. And Wow! That is fun!

But when as a small station, Maybe I'm a minority here. I find it personally deflating or defeating to see how well others are doing compared to me.

Say you are trying your best, and are in a contest that has serial numbers, or you look at one of the live scoreboards, and you see 1/2 of the people have double your score. Not a little more but DOUBLE, your score. Now I may be in a minority here, but to me that just kills it some. It just seems a LOT less fun to me.

So the question is,

"Do you like to see how others are doing compared to you"?

Hi,


Someone recently had a post here (if I remember correctly) about designing a contest 
"dashboard" to make watching contests more interesting and informative. Sort of 
an enhanced online scoreboard, if I understood it properly.


I meant to keep a copy of the email, but lost it somehow.  I would like to 
contact the person who wrote it, so if he or she reads this please contact me 
directly, off the reflector.


Thank you and 73,
Ken, AB1J
