Yes - the data is stored on our server, that's what I meant. The system only scrapes the data from our competitions, and most importantly, only when users are actually viewing the page. The data is scraped from FIRST a maximum of once every minute (every hour right now, since it's not competition season). If you use this tool, you can set that number to be whatever you would like, and of course configure it to scrape from your own competitions.

This is a good point, I'm glad you brought it up.
