Thanks, Lucas - I did get that submitted.  It was a fun day in spite of anything else, and I will probably try it again in August.

    Oh, one thing...we have got to stop referring to "logs received" although by
    habit, it's how we talk about things. I had to backspace over "logs" and
    retype "scores" several times in the past couple of days :-)

    Everyone,
     
    The problems with not having the site ready rest with me. This should
    be no reflection on the League, Sean, Ward or the Rookie Roundup
    contest.
     
    When Ward and Sean asked me if I'd like to do the contest, I was in
    the middle of a re-write of Getscores. The site had not had any
    changes in a long time. I thought I'd have enough time to be ready
    for the 1st SSB event. As you know, that was not the case.
     
    It was looking like we were going to make it. I won't make any
    excuses -- it should have been ready. However, despite my best
    effort, with the cycles of "spare" time available, I was not able to
    get the job done.
     
    More than 226 people registered to run in the contest. The time for
    this concept has come.
     
    If you are new to contesting, don't get discouraged by this glitch!
    I've been playing the contest game over 30 years and am completely
    addicted. I certainly wish I had had the site completed so that I
    could have been on the air to work some of you. What's more
    important is that many of you got on the air and made QSOs.
     
    Over the coming weeks, I'll be completing the live logger, the live
    status pages, and, hopefully with your help, we will get the bugs out
    of the site and get it fully functional. I'm hearing rumors that
    their may be a re-run of the RR SSB at a later date. That would be
    great. In the meantime, if you have a short-duration event, I'd love
    to hear more about it, and potentially use it with Getscores.
     
    73,

    This was my first contest and I must say it was pretty enjoyable. I
    was wondering however exactly how to upload the log/score to the
    getscores website. I have read everything on the site and still no
    luck. The USU program cannot connect to the server to upload the
    score. Just wondering if anybody else is having this problem and/or
    knows the solution.

    Yes, there was a surprising amount of activity. I worked a couple of
    really tongue-tied kids at the beginning, who were sounding *much*
    better only an hour later. A few came right out of the gate sounding
    like old hands. It was fairly amazing listening to K6LL running rookies
    on 20!
     
    The live logging/score collection effort was pretty much a disaster, but
    at least now there's time to get it fixed. I never did figure out
    where, if anywhere, my scores, which N1MM Logger said were being
    received, were posted. The original semi-real-time score reporting
    effort on getscores required a cooperative effort by several skilled and
    motivated people helping W1VE get it done. My impression is that this
    much more challenging project would have benefited from similar
    synergy. Perhaps it still can.

    Hi all,
     
    Clarifying Sean's Rookie Roundup blog entry - there is no "log submission"
    in this contest. The only thing you have to submit is your score. If you
    kept a log at home, that's fine, but unlike other contests, it doesn't need
    to be sent in to the ARRL. Even if you submitted a score through the
    Getscores score uploader application, it might be a good idea to send a
    duplicate to Sean via email "just in case". Sean and I will be working on
    preparing the results for publication tomorrow.
     
    The original intent was to submit your QSOs individually through logging
    software, but the mechanics didn't come together for that to happen this
    time. We will keep going and make that happen in a future running of the
    contest.

    Linda -
     
    Sean KX9X has created an alternative for us since logging was
    difficult. All the details are on the blog page listed below.
     
    http://rookieroundup.wordpress.com/2010/04/19/rookie-roundup-log-submission/
     
    Effectively you will score your log based on the QSOs and multipliers
    using a worksheet and submit the information directly to him.

    It is in the little separate window associated with the Score Reporting
    Application. You have to turn that app on in the Configurer before it
    will do anything, at Config > Configure Ports, etc. > Other, but I think
    it is on by default. If it is on, you will see two N1MM Logger entries
    in the taskbar, rather than one.
