Eek. I disagree.

If the scores are displayed quickly this year, then that is great, but if its more than ten or fifteen seconds (sometimes it has been minutes in the past) then please cut it off.

The match results are published by FIRST and will be released alongside the video on The Blue Alliance. Cutting video sooner makes the video MUCH smaller and easier for people to download and watch.

Really, you should cut the match at some appropriate and intelligent end point. THEN slice out a one second clip of score being displayed. Mash'em together, convert, and everyone's happy. It's honestly not that difficult and makes everyone a lot happier. I'll grant you that it's a little more work this way, but if you wanted to be lazy and turn out a nearly useless mass of video archives, then you'd just record the webcast of the event and upload that to SOAP/TBA, right?
