 From the CWops List:
If you have been to Dayton and witnessed the Kansas City DX Club CW 
contest you know what this is about. If not, the club has 2 hospitality 
suites. One is the viewing and waiting area...groups about 4 and 5 are 
called into a second room where they sit and try to hear as many CW DX 
signals as possible. In the viewing are the screens show the competition 
in bar graphs as they compete. Looks a bit like a horse race. The rates 
are also shown on the screen. Our own W4WJ(now living in Texas) won this 
a long long time ago. A most prestigious event to win among DXers and 
contesters.The following is a note of former competitions. Try your hand 
to see how you do against the best CW Pileup and contest operators in 
the world.

Dave --
If you want more practice go to my website www.no5w.com 
<http://www.no5w.com> and go to the PileUp Practice page. You can 
download many past pileup competitions and an application to run them. 
60+ is a great score but some are more difficult than others. Highest 
score I recall was in the low 80s and the lowest winning score I recall 
was in the low 50s. Using the app you can compete against the best for 
some of the years including recent years.
Have fun
Chuck/NO5W
