Removing time and score from big screen during elimination matches

[StevenB]

I think this is a case of trying to drag tradition into this year's game. Yes, in the past, the score wasn't official until the robots stopped moving, all the points were counted, and the penalties were subtracted. Revealing the score was a big deal.

But since we're playing basketball this year, let's play it like basketball. When the timer hits zero, and the hail-mary shot hits the floor, the crowd erupts. It's over. One team wins. In basketball, they don't stop for twenty seconds, make everyone sit down and be quiet, and try to introduce some artificial suspense before unveiling the score. When the buzzer goes off, everyone knows who won. In basketball, the suspense doesn't occur after the game, it peaks during the intense hard-fought plays as the clock winds down. Rebound Rumble is the same.
