Just curious why US contests don't use Soaring Spot?

SSA competitions are scored with WINSCORE and publishes results to the SSA website. Furthermore, the SSA website is used for contest registration and allows WINSCORE to easily download information that greatly reduces administration tasks.

Soaring Spot website was established and is maintained by Naviter, the developers of the SeeYou family of products. To utilize Soaring Spot the contest must be scored with SeeYou competition. Currently SeeYou competition supports FAI scoring and rules *not* SSA scoring and rules. Yes SeeYou competition allows customization via scripts but not all SSA scoring and rules nuances can be handled.

IMO at some point the SSA needs to align with the rest of world by adopting the FAI scoring and rules. Yes I have used both to score contests.
