Re: Real-Time Scorekeeping for 2005?!
RTS is all up to regional events if they want to and have the man power to do it. FIRST has it set up via two ipaqs one for red and one for blue. The software isn't that complex but it takes a calm person who can count and track changes quickly to do. As much as i have seen of it, rows are automagically tracked within the SW by who owns what goals and also you have to remember there are the end zone points and penalties to keep track of besides the tetras and goals. I don't know how many events will use the RTS feature but remember it is in no way an official score. That is the people who may do RTS will be trying to keep up with changes in the match but one wrong click or miscounted or missed tetra in the fast paced action can make it appear lopsided. If you choose to use RTS as a strategy to have an idea of an approximate score at that time, just remember we the scorekeepers are human and at some times cant always keep up.
