Expect a few New Things...
With my spare time(what little bit I have left,) I've been adding new features to the scoring software which will make their debut at this year's IRI. Currently completed or in the works:
-Notification on the match results screen if the high score has been tied or beaten.
-An updated alliance selection display, not only showing the teams selected and still available, but also who they will be competing against in the first round.
-A "ticker-tape" display on the pit monitor, showing various event statistics(high score, rounds remaining, schedule reminders, etc.)
-802.11b access available to custom event information system(instant rankings, match schedules, etc). (SSID if available: iri_net)
I may not know for sure until I set up and test on site at the IRI which of these features we will be using. More information will be coming as the event gets closer.
DISCLAIMER: Some features, including the public 802.11b access, will only be available bandwidth-permitting on our wireless network. Due to the nature of the event, stress testing of the network will not occur until setup on the Friday morning of the event. Therefore, it will not be possible to provide advance notice as to whether or not this feature will be available.
