IRI Scoring Odds & Ends

[Nate Smith]

For those of you who are interested, here are just a few statistics regarding the current IRI setup:
Teams: 48
Matches per Team: 9
Total Matches: 108
Avg Break Between Matches: 10.2 matches
Min Break Between Matches: 5
Max Break Between Matches: 23

Also, to let everyone know, the matches are being generated using the "method 99" code developed by yours truly. It turns out FIRST had some time to work it into the FileMaker program itself, and is now the default option when generating matches in the postseason code. More discussion about how this exactly works can be found in this thread.

As is the normal case, I've made a few small changes to the code...

1. The most important for the IRI - The option to have straight best two out of three in the elims is now there

2. I've made a few changes to the pit display as well...it now scrolls the lower portion of the rankings screen by the page, and not just by the line. The middle section, which shows a single team, with their ranking and all of their information, works as before. Also, I made the lower rankings portion slightly larger, making it easier to read.

Also, with the availability of wireless networking equipment for the event network on site, I'm debating whether or not to write a web-based system which would allow teams access to detailed rankings information, similar to what I did last year. Would there be an interest in this?
