Do you have an example picture/link for those of us who don't watch much auto racing? Is it like the scrolling marquee on ESPN with match updates and scores?

There's actually a couple of designs for them
There's the current FOX design which constantly displays the top 3 teams, and has a second box that flips through the entire rundown seen here: https://youtu.be/B5wT75vzLiE?t=7m51s
The most traditional and widely used design is the scrolling ESPN marquee seen here: https://youtu.be/rLUYrzgHNgk?t=42m22s
Also, note that the number to the right of the names are that car's interval to the leader in either seconds or laps, which in a 2015 FRC application would be changed to QA or potentially QA interval to the top team.

personally i despise this one, more or less because i grew up with the ESPN style, but for robotics that may be a really good way to show standings. Be able to see the top teams with one, while the other shows the current teams competing or the next matches teams competing.
