That was what I was suggesting.

Take a look at the webcast of the Traverse City qual.

Unfortunately, other than adding the seeding points in my head after each match, we did not have anything that told the GA's what the seeding score was. I told teams to check in at pit admin in order to find out, and like Chris said, I tried to point out when weird results happened (like the 14-0 game where red alliance got a penalty, which resulted in the blue alliance getting more seeding points). I have to admit it is disappointing that FIRST did really update the final score screen, however I am sure that we will discuss this in the Emcee/GA conference call tomorrow. Weather it will get fixed or not in time for other regionals would be interesting to see.

Jane: While I agree that all teams should know how the seeding is done, what about the spectators and non-FIRSTers who are at the venue? Just a thought, not meant to create an argument or further discussion.
