I love this idea. Also, along with the whole auto/teleop score separation, I think the aesthetic of the FMS scoreboard needs some work. Some sort of transparency so you can see the field on screen would be one of many possible improvements. I hate to put it like this, because you shouldn't need to rely on match scores for scouting, but having auto and teleop scores separated would make it easier to clarify scouting data. For example, if you didn't see if a team got in 2 or 3 discs during auto (and other bots missed, so you can't just check the ground to see if there is an out of place disc) you can check with the other 2 scouters for that alliance and compare their data to the posted score.

It's even already in the Twitter feed, just not on the board. A different term for the fouls would be nice, but I can't think of anything that fits easily. "Fouls Received" would be clearer, but maybe too long.

this this this this this this.
In my team's rather epic (letting my ego loose here) match scouting/match prediction/pit scouting/pre scouting/OPR calculation/match schedule/live pick list optimization(this part is in development) spreadsheet, we have the winning scores/predicted scores automatically turn bold so that the win prediction is easier to check at a glance.
It's good news that the auto/teleop data is already in the twitter feed. That means that the foundation is already there and it just needs to be implemented.
The fouls thing is a little convoluted. I thought at first that the foul points were points subtracted from that alliance's score (i.e. if blue alliance had 6 foul points under its points list, 6 points was subtracted from blue alliance's score). Some rewording would be nice, though I am not sure what the best phrase would be.

And a lot of those few non-FIRST observers are likely coming with a FIRST-affiliated friend, who hasn't shut up about the game since February
