I found out why (at least one reason) the pit scoring system kept crasing.
The database used to hold the scores and such is hosted on one of the laptops by the field. This laptop's OS is Windows 98 (First Edition) and this OS can only support one network connection.
After each match, they have to dail-up to some network to post the scores. This causes windows to ignore the local area network.
The scoreing display in the pits has to keep updateing itself from this laptop, but it is unable to do this when the laptop is using its dial-up connection.
Thus the scoring system crashes.
