Re: Removing time and score from big screen during elimination matches

I've watched scores get removed mid-match. It definitely seems like it's meant to add excitement for the crowd, but its extraordinarily annoying for people relying on it on the field.
Say you want to decide how many robots you need to get on the bridge for the endgame. You get yourself ready, look up at the score and...... nothing.

I don't think they should do it anymore. Maybe take it down the second teleoperated period ends, so the crowd watching the match will still have the intensity if they miss it, but it's up the whole time players on the field need it.

Imagine you're watching a professional basketball game and suddenly the scoreboard turns off, how annoying would that be?
