FMS For FLL

Hi everyone.
It has been a few years since i have been involved with FLL. My former FRC team has been running a FLL scrimmage for the past couple of years. This year, we are looking to go official and run one of the potential Massachusetts State Qualification tournaments for FLL. This year, I have been put in charge of looking into some of the more logistical stuff for this event seeing as i am now a mentor for my team.

Now if some of you aren't aware, in FRC, we have what is called a FMS, or field management system. It manages robot connections, scoring, audience interaction, match results, scheduling, and time keeping. I was wondering if there was a similar system out there for FLL and if not, what types of systems have people been using?

I should explain that in the past, my team has used a simple projector and computer timer but this has led to confusion with scoring as well as scheduling.

I look forward to hearing everyone's input on this.
