Or is there a requirement that after each match and QR code is generated that it gets uploaded, otherwise it is lost when the next scouting session starts?
Yes, the User App allows you to scout multiple matches in a row. The scouter would just choose "save and exit" on the submit screen instead of "save and generate QR". The match data is then saved into a database. When the user wants to send the QR code, they would just choose "generate QR code" on the main screen. The QR code will contain all of the past matches. The data for past matches only gets deleted when the user hits the "return to main screen" which is on the same screen as the QR code.
