Wow, that is bad... I only had the opportunity to watch VCU on the webcast. Their system seemed to be working well. Matches and Standing were updating in real time to the FIRST website.

I do see where having the match numbers up on the screen would be a help. They have had that info in the past. My comments were tempered by what I saw on Saturday and what I've experienced during week 2 at the Arizona Regional the last 4 years. I can't remember a scoring system that worked properly when we received it.

Complaining about not having a clock, when there is a clock mounted at the top center of each alliance area justed seemed petty.
