Allison: I've only been to the PacNW regionals, but I'm assuming each regional has roughly 40 teams? The PacNW had something like 38 last year.
As a regional scorekeeper, i would say no. Because when you have only a few hours to not only get the system set up in technical details, you also have to get the physical system set up also, and with some regionals that have up to 50-80 teams there, doing the match list by hand and then inputing it all into the scoring system would take close to a days worth of work. And that is not including the physical set up time.

P.S.~ Yes Nate S. did come up with a plug in or last years game, i dont know if it will work this year, but it was a great addition to the off season events, along with the best out of 3 finals plug in.
