	You've seen the huddled masses around the score board 
between rounds of an ACBL Swiss, haven't you?  They want to 
know at every moment how much they've got and how far behind 
first they are.  You'll probably find a large objection 
until you figure a convenient way to display accurate 
scoring before the next round starts.
