What about a Picture-in-Picture system for the scoreboard? Almost any decent video mixer should be able to do it (might require a 2nd board though since match video is green-screened onto the score display) The background shows an overview of the entire field, and close-ups are PIP'd into it.

I think this is only needed for Champs (and possibly MSC) since those get the most webcast views since there are so many people who want to go but can't. A regular regional with it's lower budget shouldn't have to go for the extra equipment
