As I watched the webcast and monitored the match results from home, the results seemed to get screwed up after I watched the match at "12:07" (when it really was posted at 11:07). I assume the scoring computer was set to a time zone one hour ahead and was only discovered at that point. Since the match results are sorted by Time and not by match number, the subsequent matches after 11:07 began being inserted between the matches with the incorrect time. You'll notice there are two matches that were posted at "11:35".

Hmm... that's weird. At least I have figured out which match numbers my team was in and I may be able to get them all in a few days. I will await the upload of the missing videos!

Ugh. This seemed to have happened at a lot of regionals. Somehow the order the matches were actually played and the order of the matches stored in the database stopped being the same. This makes it extremely difficult to pair matches up with the information in the database, especially because FIRST overwrites matches in the result of ties in eliminations.

If somehow FIRST could provide us the match schedule with "Qualification 15" instead of "11:34am", then it would be much easier to do everything. I've spoken with people from FIRST about making an open API or XML feeds of match information available so people can easily do interesting statistics and provide auxiliary services. If only FIRST would catch the Web 2.0 wave of openness...

Any news on this? I am looking for QF1-1 and QF1-2.

Thanks guys!
