I have noticed from afar some issues with Peachtree data getting posted on FIRST's pages in a timely manner over the past couple years and I want to make sure we don't commit to this system then get stuck not being able to enter matches because the schedule doesn't post properly.

The system scrapes the FIRST webpage every 60 seconds to update match schedules/scores/etc. Manual input is possible but we'd rather not mess with it while the FIRST scraping script is running unless there's a serious issue as to prevent input of conflicting data.

What's not getting posted on the FIRST site? The qualification match schedule? If this is the case, we might be able to pause the script and do manual input on Thursday night.
