However, this is one of those times that software can help you out! (Play Super Hero music here).

On a Sirius note, the virtual FCUI in the Full/Delta versions of the FMS does a fantastic job! Plus it keeps less clutter of the scorers table, and saves you a little money.

To be honest, I wouldn't be shocked if the FCUI is nothing but switches (in the form of push buttons) and led displays rigged to the server via Ethernet through a couple electronic boards. I believe it is there so that it allows the scorer multi-task and have easy access to match control.(Those who have preformed the job in on-season, please correct me if I'm wrong).

Edit:
I want to re-iterate others in that for the electronics, I highly recommend if you want the full set, renting is your best option. As long as you can find an FTA to come help you out and the rental fee's, you shouldn't have an issue.

If you feel you can get along with the base set (we've discussed this before), to rent or make is up to you. I feel rent is still more economical, but if your looking for a full-time available practice field prior to the end of champs, building is a great option.
