Re: A Request

What if I told you the flashyness of each competition comes down to the game and how easiy it can be scord in real time.

Every major sport in the world has a perfectly logical and easy to follow scoring system and scoreboard. FRC has this, FTC does not.

There needs to be a better system built to track real time scores of FTC matches for future games. But at the beginning it come down to game complexity. FTC games have to be complex because of the small field space. Meanwhile FRC can remain simpler because of the much larger space. RTS of FRC is much easier in this regaurd as well. If FTC had RTS it would also help it become more spectator friendly. Hearing match scores post match is great, but not as exciting as watching how close it gets live.
