Default Contest scoring question

Glider racing pilots (and fans) a question on contest scoring:

Remote vs On site.

Advantage vs. disadvantage?

Planning for a regional next year and looking for input from outside the "After we fly, beer in hand" opinions.

It is very important to have "robust" on-airport internet service. The problem arises after pilot arrival; the airport wifi becomes swamped with logs being sent to the contest scorer. It is even worse if pilots send their scores to an on-airport scorer's table where the logs are later uploaded to the remote scorer. Dedicated scoring wifi is a must. Perry struggled with this in April and John Good worked many hours trying to help. Being a consummate IT professional, John is an excellent "how-to" resource.
