Lots of nice pictures and rah rah short comments on the Facebook page. They are nice. They don't take the place of a few John Good style paragraphs about what happened that day, covering weather, task, and a few stories from top and bottom. And "my story of the nationals" which is what volunteer Facebook posts provide is quite different than an organizer, CD, or ssa reporter's story of the contest.

As you say, there is lots that could be done with modern social media. But nothing that is being done with any medium.

This is an SSA sanctioned nationals, at the home of the SSA, with SSA staff on site. The SSA RC and website volunteers developed a nice reporting medium on the SSA website. The SSA rules say

13.1 Daily Reporting
13.1.1 The CD and the Scorer shall ensure that contest scores are reported at least daily to the SSA website. When possible, preliminary scores should be posted by 20:00, and updated as changes are made and when scores become Official.
13.1.2 A brief narrative describing each contest day is recommended for inclusion with submitted scores..

Let us at least use what we have.

I agree with my friend John. That said, if contest organizers want to use alternate means from the classic reporting, so be it. What is frustrating for some of us is that we don't know the alternative stuff is available.
I'd like to see links to these options put in the reports area so we can find them when we look at scores.
At least tell us where the good stuff is.
FWIW
