Maybe that is why team number 1 finished first and number 2 finished 2nd and so on and so on and so on all through the finals.

I have seen this at one other event we went to and I like not knowing what position you are in throughout the event. I vote for no scoring screen at any events.
I agree. It was really interesting to NOT know what rank everyone was. Normally we don't even look at the rank anyway, but when we went 5-0, we figured we better get the scouting team to get us a list.

We did eventually have a ranking, but it was fun not knowing for most of the day.
