We are starting to get international assistance from online scoring enthusiasts from all around the world.
Today we have published a Spanish version of COSB tutorial. Check it out: https://blog.contestonlinescore.com/the-contest-online-scoreboard-features/
We are pleased to inform the latest COSB update recognising the new popular FT4/FT8 modes. The new World Wide DIGI DX contest scoreboard is up and running. Good luck in the contest https://contestonlinescore.com/scoreboard/?contest_id=359!
We have recently implemented a new view option “Chase the Rabbit”. That option could be activated on the “View” page:
It only display the five scores immediately above and five below your score . That would minimize the scoreboard window down to the very minimal size and could help to a contester to concentrate the only on the closest competitors.
It could be very efficient withing mobile template since requires a very small spot on a screen. take a look how that looks like surrounded by the N1MM+ logger windows:
We are lucky to see more and more contesters publishing their instantaneous scores on the online scoreboards. Thousands of them have already registered their profiles on one of those available.
Many have asked which scoreboard to use during the contest? Currently, there are two. The answer: You could use the one you like the most, or use both, as a few advanced guys do. By configuring your logger to send scores to ScoreDistributor.net, you’ll always have a choice of which scoreboard to use since your score will automatically be shared with all of the existing scoreboards. That way you only need to configure your logger once and forever!
Why Score distributor?
We are glad to publish the three contenders for the top single op High Power and Low Power and the top multi-op scores on the COSB:
– Highest Online Scoreboard (Single operator Low Power):
– Highest Online Scoreboard (Single operator High Power):
Highest Online Scoreboard (Multi operator Any Power):
Congratulations to all! The plaques will be sent to a top score winner in the every group after CQ WPX official results publication.
Our presentations have a great success at Hamvention! We’ve received very positive feedback from many people. That’s very promising. We hope some of attendances will join online scoring in the nearest future.
