Re: AZ Regionals: Incorrect Scoring?

First off, this year's scoring system isn't more solid than past years'. I was scorekeeper at Lone Star and the only problem I had was a delicate computer system that had been shaken up rather badly on the back of a semi. It frankly astounds me that we're having scoring problems this year when things were working perfectly well last year.

Secondly, despite FIRST being a non-profit organization, it still answers to a board of directors. I'm quite certain that they have more say in what happens than I do. Anyways, it's about perception here. If I asked my sponsors to get me some volunteers to manually track scores and rankings because the scoring system that worked last year is no longer in use and the new scoring system doesn't work.... Well. Sponsors probably don't care about plastic trophies, true. They do care about how programs they are investing money in are run.

I think I've said my peace and certainly can't make my point much more clear. I'll save the rest of my comments for Team Forums and whatever other effective channels of communication are available to me.
