Removing time and score from big screen during elimination matches

[SoMe_DuDe904]

Response from FIRST.

"Removal of Time/Score bar during match play has never been the recommended procedure at an FRC event.

The policy: Time/Score bar should not be removed until the match is over. Period. Removal is not an acceptable practice at any FIRST Regional or District event.

During Qualification Matches the Time/Score bar can stay projected and segue directly into Official Score posting, since the real-time scoring has proven to work well and is quick and efficient.

During Elimination Matches, the Time/Score bar can be removed after the match is over, to allow for Head Ref verification and to build anticipation/excitement. However, as soon as the score has been verified by the Head Ref and committed by the scorer, the Official Score should be posted as quickly as possible and in tandem with the Game Announcer who will simultaneously announce the score. It is not OK to delay Official Score posting. We want to post the score as soon as it is official."

Hope this helps.
Thanks!
