Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
On current system, the score gets published publicly at the end of the contest. And during the contest only Administrators can see the scoreboard.
I am proposing the feature of public display of the scoreboard / leaderboard during the contest which can be turned on or off by the administrators.
Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):
When contest is running, contestants wants to monitor about their progress and what position s/he stands on the leaderboard. Right now there is not way of showing that easily.
But if the leaderboard can be displayed publicly, even if with 4 hours update frequency, it will be very helpful and motivating for the contestants.
Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
- When the progress get's visibility, contestants get motivated to work more.
- It will help to create more competetive environment.
- It can help to reduce the fall out rate.
- Leaderboard can be a way of showing the recognition of the work of the contestants.
