gatool is a tool to provide FIRST® Game Announcers with up to date information while announcing events during the FIRST Robotics season. As a web-based tool, it uses up-to-date information about the event to provide a comprehensive set of useful data to Game Announcers. It is designed to work on desktops, laptops and tablet devices.
While in offline mode, GAs must import playoff schedules after each phase of the playoffs. This can be tedious and untimely when the event is behind schedule. Levi Madden requests that the bracket support manual team advancement for playoff matches.
In this model, the GA can record that an alliance won a match, which would generate fake schedule data in the table to advance the phase. If we do it this way, then we do not need to recode the display functions as they rely on the schedule data to determine which teams are in which station.
