Our solution for this is we have a scout text the match number of the match that was just finished to a student in pit who is tasked with timing.
We do this at regionals too.

Yes, I do know that by looking at the big screen, you can see what match was completed.
But is this process clear and coherent for the many new teams that come to CMPs for the 1st time? Posting a time on the match schedule HURTS the process. Even though we all should know matches dont always run on time, putting a time stamp next to matches will naturally make newbies think that's when their match will take place.
Connectivity should be a big priority next year, especially with 600 teams in 2015 and 8 fields to worry about.
