Everyone is aware that the pedestal only lights once a referee "completes" a cycle manually, right? To do this they have to select who made what assists, whether there was a truss shot, and where the ball was scored. Once they submit that information to the system, then the pedestal lights up. If they are busy with a penalty, counting down an instance of pinning, etc. then they won't be able to "complete the cycle" as quickly as if they were just keeping track of scores.

At Hub City, we had the guys at the scoring table keeping track of matches to compare against what was entered in the system. Whenever there was an issue with a ball being introduced into the field incorrectly, a tablet froze, or there was a field fault, we replayed a match.

I know that people are unhappy about how quickly the pedestal is lighting up, but you also have to understand that it's a completely manual process!
