Re: Change Of Match Schedule

Chances are the reason why the match list changed was b/c there may not have been enough time between matches (or too much) OR they inputted the wrong start / lunch / end times OR the sequence of teams / matches and what not didn't even out the right way.

At LI, I think they re-did the schedule twice.

HOWEVER the LI Regional used a different part of the system where the match lists and times you recieved would update on the pit display w/ new times for matches to start. Basically if you looked at your sheet and thought you were ahead or behind time you were wrong b/c the pit displays were updating on a match to match basis w/ new times so that the event would / will run smoother.

Aside from that - chances are it was an error and the FTA felt that it was significant enough to have to re-do the entire list. Not like it matters all that much anyway since it doesn't effect when pits open or close or ceremonies etc.... Match times constantly change anyway through out the day so you shouldn't really be looking to start and finish each match within a certain time since so much could go wrong, Field Equip failure, Score Equip Failure etc... (Things that will always hold you up) All that list does is serve as a general template which can and will change w/o notice and no way of avoiding it.
