4fx, IIRC, is the company that has been responsible for helping with competition control systems in the past few years since they stopped contracting Hatch Technologies. They wrote the match pairing algorithms and the software used at the regional to handle rankings and brackets, which exports the data to the FIRST website. This might export awards to TIMS, but TIMS is an older system than 4fx, and possibly than Hatch.
