Then it would go back to the team list screen I was looking at.

Actually... just opened it back up, tried to select to 2016 events, beige/tan screen, gone. Looks like there's another bug there.

I think you've hit an asynchronous call bug. The calls for the qual matches, playoff matches, standings and teams happen essentially at the same time. It's supposed to handle the data returning in any order or not at all, but every time I think I've found the last place I've assumed that if A is there then B must be too only to run into a null reference another one pops up. Did you get a diagnostic screen or did it crash to the desktop?

Crash to desktop.

When it's working, it sure seems like a useful app. When it's crashing... not so much.

Running windows 10 on a touchscreen surface pro 3

crashed several times. Can not find a constant pattern in crashes.

When looking at a 2016 event, looking at a single team, there is robot names listed for the teams. This is the 2015 robot names.

For the 2015 events under championship week you list ARTE, CUCA, GACA, NEHO divisions. when attempting to look at this events the program encounters an error (photo included in album at end). There is also no was to back out of this error (that I can find).

Occasionally I will be attempting to open an event, and will have to tap the event many times before it will acknowledge the command and open the event.

Will continue to test, and will update with new information. Will also be happy to test specifics for you.

Running on my Windows 10 desktop without crashing, just a little slow because of the fact that I don't have a touchscreen. Good app though, stable on mine at least.

The NEHO etc divisions are, it would seem, the combined awards divisions for championships and they do seem to be broken, though from the perspective of the app I may simply filter them out of the list at least until I build a page that displays who won which awards.

The apparent non-responsiveness isn't actually non-responsiveness it's a delay in the web call. When you tap an event, it doesn't do anything until the first response from the FIRST server (very often the team list) comes back. I could put a progress ring up if you think that bit of visual feedback would be useful.

The reporting I'm getting back causing the drop to desktop crash is that there appear to be cases where it will attempt to display information for a team with no team loaded or at least that specific selected team not loaded. Which is weird, because the first is checked for (both null and zero count) and the second shouldn't happen.
