Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
During elimination matches there is certain information that the teams need to have but don't have an easy way to see or access at most events. This includes:
The C29c 8 minute timeout timer
The C29b 4 minute mark when alliance lineups are due.
The number of Wins for each alliance
This information is shown on the field display, but that display is rarely visible from the queueing tables where the teams are. Also the information is different for different alliances (e.g. the 8 minute timer will be at a different point for alliances 1 and 4 than for 2 and 3 during semifinals).
Describe the solution you'd like
Create a new display view for this purpose. It should clearly show for each of the 4 alliances the following information:
Time before alliance lineups are due (4 minutes after scores posted)
Time before teams will be called to the field (7 minutes after scores posted)
Time before the match should begin (8 minutes after scores posted)
Who is ahead in wins for each bracket
Maybe also which teams have played and which haven't (similar to the Bracket Report)
This display should be something that the computer can be able to be locked to so if other information is shown on the audience display it won't cover it up (we commonly switch to sponsors or play videos on the audience display during this downtime). It should also update to show the correct two alliances when reaching finals.
Describe alternatives you've considered
It is sometimes possible to turn the filed monitors around so the teams can see them from the queueing area, but this depends on the event layout and isn't always ideal or possible. We have also setup dedicated field displays in the queuing area during this time, but you need two displays because the information is different for the different alliances.
Additional context
This feature would be useful at this year's FTC Championship where in past years there have been screens configured as field timers in the queuing area for teams to see the 8 minute timer.
As an addition to this, it could also be used to show the 5 minute C08 timer during qualification matches, and as a stretch goal also show which matches/teams should be actively queueing?
