As a result of the rather unconventional elimination rounds (which varied from those prescribed in Section 8), the Hatch scoring/field control system wasn't able to accomodate all of the results into its database. We actually used three instances of the Hatch software to run that event; one on each field, doing only field control and real-time scoring, and a third which was unconnected to a field, and which tabulated the rankings and handled final scores. Most pertinently, data from the first, second and third rounds probably won't be available, unless it can be wrested from the backup files on the auxillary scoring computers. The final rounds might be available, but due to the necessity of running the finals from a fresh copy of the database (in order to account for the teams coming from each field), the database that FIRST posted actually denotes the finals as QF2 in order to avoid repopulating the already-completed rounds with match results (to save time). The extra award data was entered manually, because the database wasn't set up for the added information. As for the missing qualification matches, I'm not sure where they went. I sent FIRST a copy of the database which (I thought) included everything up to Q124, and the aforementioned mess in the eliminations.

Convoluted? Yes, very.
