Maybe the problem is that my eyes aren't what they used to be
The ranking screen did have a problem, especially if you were #1 seed. There was no real results screen except the "ticker" at the bottom. You never knew if the team above you in rank had a better W/T/L record or just more QPs. On earlier versions you could adjust the speed of the display, but that disappeared in the version used this past weekend. The other list was the upcoming matches.

It was definitely not your eyes, at least mine had the same trouble.

Did anyone else notice that they added the match # and a real time clock to the main scoring display on the big screen? They really are listening at FIRST and 4FX and we often don't give them enough credit for what has been achieved to date in our efforts to "correct" percieved problems.
