Now as for speaking from a first hand point of view.....Care to elaborate on the above comment?
Anyone who has had to use the Hatch scoring systems software can tell you it was an absolute nightmare to use. Especially for the off-season software, obnoxious popup windows, lack of status icons to tell you that the program was running or that a task had been completed successfully, and buggy scoring/ranking problems made it so, at least for our off-season competition, I was constantly backing up the rankings in Excel and ultimately ran the alliances and finals in Excel instead of the software.
