Ether,
I've been a Scorekeeper in previous years (so this feature may or may not exist this year, but I'd be pretty surprised if it weren't) and FMS would store results locally after every match. It would back up locally and to a flash drive, if one was plugged in. A full backup database would be triggered every 5 matches, or manually by the scorekeeper.
Additionally, at the end of the event, the Scorekepper would export a good amount of data (including match results) to excel format and give it to the FTA. I don't remember if that was standard procedure, or just good practice from the FTAs I've worked with.
I think it's a pretty safe bet the data exists
somewhere, but it's a much bigger question if somebody will go through and take all that data off the field manually.
