One suggestion i would make would be competition specific team lists, just so that you dont have to school through all the teams in the drop down for the team you want to bet on. It would be a pain but you could probably write some kind of script to crawl the first site and get the team lists for each competition.


Also they payouts could be more timely, I know its alot of work and there isn't much you could do if FIRST didn't post the results but maybe have people at the competitions keeping track of the information and then relay it back to Brandon.


Also the bug that was found after nationals in the payouts kinda sucked. Since if i remeber correctly it would have caused bigger payouts on the earlier events.

Another idea would be to have ways of earning Venture points for betting. Like if you post white papers you would get venture points or that kind of thing. As an incentive for people to do things to help out the FIRST community.
