Spyder or Tracker Accuracy

[scaryone]

Love Spyder, and Tracker. Love them so much that I have come to rely on the apps and the data provided concerning scheduling and the like. I was thinking I might be relying too much on these two apps. Has anyone noticed errors between actual field schedule data and the apps? I have not.

All the external tools are pretty much based on the data sources that the FMS updates, so any errors on the apps would either be on FIRSTs data sources also or probably an obvious bug (like concatenating or parsing the page data incorrectly, not being off by 10 points or something).

The schedule data? I've never had an issue after Opening ceremonies. I did have an issue last year once, but that was corrected sometime before 8:00 the first day of competition.

Currently, on FRC Tracker, There's a lot of low-numbered teams that aren't actually going to CMP (Getting team numbers that don't exist this year, I expect that it's extra DB rows, not a big issue). Once divisions are released in the next day or so, they'll be updating their database with the correct data for the divisions, and it won't be an issue.
