I am sorry that the great real-time scoring puts a damper on things, but that's ridiculous.
I could not agree more! To me, even in matches we are not playing in, it is way more exciting to know EXACTLY what is going on during the match that I am watching. This includes seeing the score and knowing that the alliances are or are not executing an intelligent strategy that could win them a match.

If I am watching a match without a score, then how do I know what the teams on the field should be doing, other than scoring lots and lots of points and balancing as many robots as possible. Seems pretty boring to me....

Whats the point of having real time scoring in the first place then?
