Actually, I was referring to the frequency 33830 at 0001Z after the contest.
Not the website based on the history.
Since K3LR and W3LPL must be on the scoreboard real time, it occurred to me,
whats the point of repeating the information on 3830 on the air if its already
known?
I don’t use the on line scoreboard, so maybe I am missing something.

"Everyone" isn't actually everyone, I think it'll be several years or so before
realtime scoreboards and livestreamed operating will become mainstream. Even
then, I think most will still return to 3830 as if it's a contesting digestif -
a central place for everyone's final score and soapbox report. Many contesters
aren't into the idea of watching others' scores while operating, until the end.
Additionally, some may argue contesting has always been a sport against
yourself from the contest prior.

Don't they already know the final scores?
