Tim,

I've always thought this was a good idea... however, implementing it would require major coordination between all the scoring programs to send an extract in a particular format to a central repository. We actually had a couple of guys very interested in doing this and did start a project to see if it was possible. The NSRCA can always come up with a file layout that all scoring programs adhere to when creating their extracts so that we can keep track of these scores in a database. Keeping track of them and coming up with a formula and posting the results is the easy part - the hard part is the implementation.

We can do a pilot on this if there is truly interest in going forward with this... as far as I know there are only 2 scoring programs in use throughout the USA - Gene Maurice's and Gordon Anderson's (we use his in D7 and D8). I've talked with Gordon and he said that creating an extract file is easy enough...
