Question Why isn't the FIRST website the place to get up to the minute regional information?

Why is it that the FIRST website always seems to be the last to be updated with the latest regional information?

One would think that FIRST/Autodesk would schedule the webmasters work schedule during the regionals to include the times that the regional are happening. And whatever extra time to get ALL the results posted at the end of the event.

Not all mentors and students get to travel, and being able to track their teams progress via the web is exciting for those who can't be there.

But, instead of FIRST being the outlet, FIRST'ers have to hope someone posts to Chief Delphi, or Soap108 to find out results.

Maybe FIRST should supply the regionals with a scoring, standings, and awards template that could be directly uploaded and updated to the FIRST website from the event as it happens. I'm sure most regionals would be more than happy to supply a volunteer to input the information.

It's sort of like if the NFL played all its games on Sunday morning and you went to the NFL website Monday Night and you still couldn't find any scores.....

FIRST - WE KNOW YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT
