FIRST Tech Challenge Live v4.2.6
This is a REQUIRED update for dual-division events as it fixes a bug where the Match Control page can become frozen & unusable during inter-division finals.
Note on the freezing control page bug for in-progress DD events that do not wish to update post-import:
This bug is non-deterministic, so it is not a guarantee that it will be hit. If the control page becomes unresponsive, close any displays not on the finals/parent division (*_0
), including pit & sponsor displays, then refresh the control page.
Important Notes for the POWERPLAY season
- The referee & scorekeeper inputs are from the SCORING SIDE perspective (BEHIND THE FIELD). Make sure your scoring referees are on the scoring side of the field.
- Referees are scoring a side of the field, not an Alliance. They enter the scoring state for both red and blue on their half of the field. The X Junction column is entered by both referees, and both must agree.
- The Junction edit popup on the Match Control page is alliance-agnostic. Edits to junctions affect both alliances.
- The displays show a grid that indicates ownership of junctions & circuits. It is oriented to match the configuration of the display. The standard configuration will display the grid from the Audience perspective. This is opposite the referee and scorekeeper! A display that is configured for "Red on Left" will display the grid from the scoring perspective. Be sure to set this configuration properly for streams where the camera is behind the field.
- With the MatchMaker update in v4.1.6, some Windows users may see a "Security scan required" notification when you run MatchMaker. MatchMaker should continue to run properly during or after the scan. If you run into problems generating a qualification schedule, please contact support. Do not attempt a DIY solution for a schedule generation issue.
