Removing time and score from big screen during elimination matches

The time and score were removed from the big screen with about a minute to go in the elimination matches at the Long Island SBPLI Regional.

I attended the Boston and NYC regionals and do not recall this practice.

To my knowledge, we were not informed of this change at any of the if many meetings we were required to attend.

I wonder what the fans and coaches of a major sport such as football, hockey or basketball would think if the score and time were removed from the field displays with two minutes to go.

Our team congratulates the red alliance on their regional win, but in the second match of the finals, we went to attempt a triple, but with out the time or score, we did not realize that all we had to do was keep shooting and go for the double balance( which we did repeatedly in 10 sec) for a most likely win and the championship, since we had won the first final. (We rushed the triple and were not successful).

I sincerely feel that this practice affected the outcome of the game.

I am interested in the FIRST community's comments on this issue.

Thanks all for listening to my venting.

Mr. S., Mentor 3137
