Well when you have to host a couple of thousand teams over a week....

Happens at EVERY event. Match #999 is the field test match, as the highest number FMS can display, aka what happens when one uses the Blue Box to go one match prior to Match 1. Every event has a test match, even it it's before practice day... so there ya go

I was a scorekeeper offseason last year and will probably be this year at some/all IN events

#FunFact: I've been with this team since it started, and I can only remember us getting a Yellow Card on one occasion, and that was during Logomotion. Our entire alliance questioned the call respectfully, but that's the only time I can remember getting one.

Seriously? No defense? Pardner, we've analyzed a quite epic defensive strategy in this game, and we're working hard on nailing it down!

Oh Danny.. Danny.. Danny..

Not funny, man. Ok. Maybe a little.

I'll admit I had my doubts about this ranking system, but this makes me a lot more confident that this system will be as good or better than previous years

BTW: I love the active role that Frank is taking in the community. This transparency from HQ about the community's concerns is great

My biggest gripe about these screens is that the match number is usually too small for me to read on a big projector. They are usually grainy. Please consider doubling the size of that number some day.

I think the Coopertition logo should be flipped horizontally or Red and Blue colors interchanged. Right now it looks like the Red Hand is coming from Blue Score and visa versa. This is just a minor detail in what is a nice improvement in the graphics (love the updated ranks in results).

I just think it looks like a hand grabbing a foot.
