There was a progressive time bar? I didn't notice it on the webcast. I just thought they couldn't get the clock to work in the program.
Let me tell you, if
I couldn't figure out the new system, what makes you think that
normal audience people will? Bring back the clock!

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.

I agree with Dave. I had no idea what match I was watching on the webcast, whether it was match 1 or 2, or whether it was QF or SF or F. This is a BAD thing if you're not devoting 100% concentration to the game (ex. Scrounging for parts, trying to fix your robot before your next match, etc.).
