WRTC 2014: LIVE  SCOREBOARD  --->  There  will  be  a  live  scoreboard  for
tracking the team standings in near real-time during  the  World  Radiosport
Team Championship (12-13 July). The scoreboard can be accessed  directly  on
the web (http://sb.wrtc2014.org) or from a link on the WRTC  2014  web  site
(wrtc2014.org).
The web site will show the scores of all teams ordered  by  score.  Clicking
on a team will reveal the team's band  breakdown,  hourly  rate  sheet,  and
position for each hour of the contest. A leader board  page  will  list  the
top 5 teams by CW contacts, SSB contacts, multipliers, and points  per  QSO.
It will also be possible to select multiple teams and compare  their  scores
on a graph vs time. Teams will be shown by the calls  of  the  team  members
rather than their over-the-air callsign (this is done to  maintain  fairness
by keeping the team identity behind each callsign a secret).
The scoreboard site is live before the contest for testing  purposes.    All
scores will be reset to zero before the contest begins at 12.00  UTC  on  12
July.
