Is this available or is there another way to power the controls without being on the field or plugging into a wall? Or is there an outlet available for teams to tether up? I don't know a whole deal about the new system, so please feel free to correct me if I have anything wrong.
The FTAs have been told to work with the production company to provide AC power on either side of the scoring table for teams' use during the elimination rounds.
