Most pertinently, data from the first, second and third rounds probably won't be available, unless it can be wrested from the backup files on the auxillary scoring computers. The final rounds might be available, but due to the necessity of running the finals from a fresh copy of the database (in order to account for the teams coming from each field), the database that FIRST posted actually denotes the finals as QF2 in order to avoid repopulating the already-completed rounds with match results (to save time). The extra award data was entered manually, because the database wasn't set up for the added information. As for the missing qualification matches, I'm not sure where they went. I sent FIRST a copy of the database which (I thought) included everything up to Q124, and the aforementioned mess in the eliminations.

I reviewed Tristan's files in the hopes of getting the correct scores out, but unfortunately only the real-time scores for Chevrolet Field were contained therein.

I'm afraid the chances of obtaining the GTR results and standings soon are slim-to-none, since the computer with the correct scoring database is in a crate on a truck or in a warehouse somewhere, to be unpacked only two weeks hence in Atlanta.
