I agree with Brandon.

Make the data available on the FSN site and include search, sort, etc functionality. This way you aren't relying on other teams to create a website to display the data. But of course make the data publically available. If you want this to truely be an open network that serves FIRST as a whole you need to give everyone easy access to the raw data. Then teams can create their own database or PC tools to parse the data at competitions. Hopefully they'll follow the lead of Jack et al and make their tools (and source) available for everyone. Also, if teams make pages that display the data, include links to the pages. Some of us may like their implementation better than the official one.
