That being said, I would suspect that if someone (read: YOU) came up with a workable plan and pitched it to an offseason event, they'd at least be willing to listen, even if they didn't try it. And they'd probably go into why it wouldn't work.

They already have people operating cameras to livestream the events; why not use a video splitter to split the matches based on the match sounds? It really shouldnt be that hard to do and tbh FIRST needs to step up their game when it comes to recording matches.
Also I see no reason why you should not be allowed to bring your own footage into a discussion. You are trying to right a wrong and not get punished for a mistake that was made. I don't know why this rule is but besides the issue of time (you could easily do this by limiting video review to 2min or something like that) but I'm interested to know why it's not allowed.
I'm also interested to hear about what FIRST has to says about this situation if they havent responded already.
