You need to understand that there are numeous portions to the scoring system.

Among these are the following:

1. Refs - These individuals need to examine and evaluate the field, determine what is in play and what is not. Additionally they need to agree on all aspects of what they see. There is no replay or review (even with SOAP).

2. The FIRST Staff and Volunteers - These individuals need to review the refs report and post it to the system. This year this means also posting it to the FIRST Website too. Hence they may need to establish connections to the server in the FIRST HQ. This could cause a bit of a delay.

3. There is the nature delay that may appear from waiting.

Now I can not speak for the Canadian Regional, but they try hard to make everything move quickly. I know that in Canada their are less expirienced Volunteers and thus it may of taken a few more minutes to get the system write. So give them a chance for they will improve with time.
