Great Idea
This is the procedure.
The pro arena and matches are located in the Royale (back) ballroom.
After the ROUND is finished, the score sheets go to the counter in the front ballroom and usually get entered within 2-3 minutes - unless all amateur matches have been completed for the evening and IT guy has gone to bed.
It is not practical to run the score sheet every match - in addition, stickers have to be printed and put on the 3 sets of flow charts.
Hope this helps.
It is never as easy as it seems.

First of all, if the IT guy is Bret McKinney he should not be allowed to go to bed. He is too good on the computers to be allowed any time off.
Second of all, I consulted a genius about the IT guy going to bed problem and he said "Why not authorize some other staff, like Ken Shuman or the TAR guys, to update the scores? I'm sure they could be trained...after all it's not rocket surgery!"
Anyway, congratulations on a great tournament Mark and all you are doing for the sport!
