I've thought about this a lot myself, and personally I would love to have something like this - it would eliminate the need to have someone go look at the rankings and then wait 5 minutes for our team ranking to crawl onto the screen...
The reason I haven't put it in though is that it would mean a lot more work and pressure for the people who are constantly updating the database - it's easy enough to hit a button when a match begins or when you hear a "last call" over the intercom, but if you make a mistake entering the results of a match, it can throw off the rankings for the rest of the event. And then there's that complicated tie-breaker system... Maybe someday FIRST will provide something like this which will just tap into their rankings database...
