Contest Online ScoreBoard

We have activated a new  graphs view: “Contest progress“:

That may be useful to compare personal performance with some other participant.

A rate window is showing “Hourly view“ by default as it was before:

We just decided to remove background from all the graph to get better contrast balance.

Switching between two graphs are by marked by red rectangle on screenshot images link above.

Please note these features are available for the only registered users!

We’ve changed how the guest operator call looks like. Now it looks like at the 3830scores.com page:

We’ve got some suggestions to reflect if a guest operator renting a contest shack as a SINGLE-OP. So we have implemented this feature. Such a station call and a guest operator combination will replace just a contest call  being used for a contest. We provide a combined call where an operator call fillows after a station call and split by the “@’ sign:

The call marked by red color means: Station contest call VA2WA operated by a guest operator VA2WDQ. That’s a style similar to what 3830 web site uses.

If you wish to use this feature please configure operator call for a contest. The most popular logging programs N1MM+ and WinTest (by using our utility)  support this feature.  We’ve found this data is missing in the DXLog. Probably some other logs are missing that feature as well. We have already contacted Chris, 9A5K the owner of DXLog.  So it’s in process now.

We have added a new Team competition page:

That would give the Team competition page. It’s similar to Club competition beside that fact it use teams but not clubs.

Set up a personal team on a personal profile page :

https://contestonlinescore.com/profile/

 

If you don’t see your team name just email its name to admin@contestonlinescore.com . It will be added to the list shortly.

Great news!

We have a Real Score Cluster distribution server link added to the N1MM+ logger. It’s on the top of other score boards links:

Tip 1:  If you wish to monitor your club activity only activate a club filter by clinking on your club name title.  Your club name title is a link to activate the filter.

 

Tip 2:  Split the Club competition window and minimize it. Usually a contester’s desktop has dozens opened windows. Every inch should be used effectively  as much as possible)) Look how a small Club competition windows could be: 

After some requests from our users we have created a new page “Club competition”. As other one click tools the link to the page are sitting on the top menu.

By clicking on the link a new page will opened in a new browser tab. On the page are all the active in the current contests clubs will be presented. It summarize all clubs’ members scores and rank clubs in accordance with the score.

We have also implemented a new Club filter. By clicking on a Club name you can get just one club on the page and hide others:

To flush a club filter and to return all other clubs on the page a simple click on a Club name will be needed!

We have added a new “Filter flush” link clearing up all the board filter settings to default. Some guys suggested us to implement some kind of  “tick box”  to clear all the filter settings without going to a special page.

It works fast and easy. By clicking on it you get the same contest board unfiltered just in few milliseconds.
