Match start times do not display in qualification matches on ftc-events #771

Open pmichaud opened 1 week ago

Apologies if this issue is already reported/tracked somewhere, I couldn't find a match.

Describe the bug Match start times are not displayed in the qualification matches on "ftc-events.firstinspires.org"

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Generate a match schedule in FTCLive for an event in ftc-events
  2. Activate the match schedule
  3. Go to the event page for the event on ftc-events
  4. Click "Qualification Matches"
  5. Match schedule is displayed but doesn't provide match start times

Expected behavior The match start times should be displayed along with matches on ftc-events. Since many events (including some in NTX) expect teams to be able to retrieve the match schedule via ftc-events, the start times for the matches, either expected or published, should be displayed there.

Device (please complete the following information):

Additional context Events in our area have been trying to move away from printed schedules, especially because we have printers that are finicky and don't always work. We've received guidance in the past that teams should use ftc-events to obtain match information (including schedules), but since the match start times aren't listed there it's not a complete answer or replacement for printed schedules at an event. So we've still had to generate printed schedules to distribute to teams and officials on-site.

Thanks Patrick! I want to confirm that this was added to our feature discussion list after our Early Bird Event "printer fun" experience. (I typically log issues in the private repo, but I can see how that can cause issues like this where other volunteers don't know it's been opened...)

If you want to share some brain power on this one: Do you have thoughts about how these times slots might be rendered before, during and after an event? What if an event is online (so times are showing) but then goes offline? Is ftc-events the right place to display this or is something like a locally accessible scoring system page better? Or an external service like frc.nexus?
