Re: FRC Blog - Change Is Here

I like the displays of the rankings. It's necessary for this kind of game, but even in the past W-L-T system it would have been nice to have. Team members, and especially spectators, didn't have easy access to ranking information. After a match we'd have to run and found a screen displaying it, to know what the result actually meant for us. Looking forward to the instant feedback.

My main question is how the announcers will handle it. It'll be hard to match the punchiness of "and the blue alliance takes the match!" with a summary of ranking changes.
