Can you imagine watching a sporting event where the score on the scoreboard is not really the actual score, which is something calculated behind the scenes but never shown? The goal this year was for the game to be enjoyable and easy to understand for spectators. If FIRST really believes in the cooperition seeding score system, then let that be the score that is shown on the field, and let the crowd see for themselves that the winning team lost and the losing team won.

Paul of 217 started doing this at FLR in order to explain to the crowd what the ___ was going on. He did a great job MCing by the way and hope gets the chance over at Michigan!
