Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage Pre-Season Event

To answer some questions about how the scoring works, or how easy it will be for spectators to follow, this is how I saw things down on the field:

There was one Official Scorer assigned to each robot/trailer in the match, tasked with keeping track of how many moon rocks and super cells were in their robot's trailer. They would increment the counter on their scoring devices as best they could see by watching their trailer throughout the match. At a regional, this data would be displayed as a real-time score on the big screen, which should help spectators follow the match.

At the conclusion of the match, the field reset crew was instructed to NOT remove anything from trailers until the Official Scorer assigned to that trailer made a final count and verified the numbers entered into their scoring device. Only the Official Scorer could release and remove balls from the trailers.

In general, if you can see the whole field, it's fairly easy to tell which alliance has the upper hand, if there is an upper hand. Closer matches might be more difficult to tell, but it's easy enough to see if there are more moon rocks in the red trailers than there are in the blue trailers, even without exact numbers.
