It did? St. Louis was down for over an hour because it couldn't calculate rankings correctly. Sure, the match control went better (however, there was no automated scoring and no green light to turn on/off), so it's a step in the right direction, but not being able to calculate rankings correctly is quite literally a show-stopper defect.

Add me to the group that says there needs to be a timer on the screen. Along with that, I'd add that it would be nice to have the match number displayed on screen. This is something we've had before and I don't know why it wasn't included in the new system. It's so helpful when you pop your head out of the pits to take a look at what's going on to know which match is currently being played. Also it makes it a lot easier when reviewing recorded footage, which is what I'm doing now. Along those same lines, why are the eliminations displayed as "Match 1", "Match 2", etc? There's no way from looking at a recording of a match now to know which round (quarter's, semi's, etc) it came from, or which match it is within that round.

Two steps forward one step back I guess.
