I could believe this. That said, with regard to the video screens:

-On Curie, the team numbers on the scoring display were completely unreadable. The alliance selection screen wasn't much better (and, in the 87-team division, cut off the lower-ranked teams).
-The way of displaying the final score could be refined. It took me until the later part of Bayou to figure out that the red background to the match number meant the score was final. I'm not sure that someone just walking in would figure it out that easily.
-I miss the days where the seeding was shown on the screen. Showing sponsor logos is important, but a screen for a few minutes once or twice a day with the information would be great for those of us stuck to the stands.
