It doesn't normally scrape before transmitting due to the several-second lag caused by scraping the data from FIRST.

Also, that very obvious notice about our team's first meeting isn't normally there, obviously. That makes it look rather ugly.
So, you are scraping the data off the FIRST site how often? Are you storing any data on your servers (aside from basic caching)? Basically, are you being a good citizen or not?
