HOWEVER, my friend who came to one of the competitions and understands how the scoring works, and what the coop bridge does, but without a frequent look at the rankings (say, by putting it on the big screen between matches briefly) it was hard for him to really see the effect it was having. I think putting the rankings on the big screen between matches (in addition to, or replacing, whichever, the slideshow) is something we should have been doing for a long time. I think it would make it easier for a casual observer to see the effect that matches are having on the rankings and how that affects the overall competition.
I have FRC Spyder on my phone. I was refreshing it after every match to see what the rankings were doing. Everyone should have been able to see it.

It would be interesting after showing the scoring results screen to have this sort of screen. For each team show what rank they are after the match and how many places they moved up or down. Split the screen into 6 big parts so that the numbers are big enough to see (I find the number lists on the alliance selection screen to be too small
).
