[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why was the scoreboard not used at Regionals at Oakmont tonight? Swimmers, coaches, and attendees were often completely in the dark about times. This is a big meet and the tiny display on top of the high dive is very difficult to view because it moves fast and sometimes skips certain lanes. It’s difficult for coaches and spectators to see finish times and placing, and worst of all, the swimmers can’t see their times when they finish their races.

For the past 3 seasons, the Oakmont scoreboard was not working because it wasn’t compatible with newer software. But Fairfax County purchased a new scoreboard for the facility last summer, and it’s now up and operational. I’ve seen it used at club meets at Oakmont. So it’s infuriating that it was not used tonight. Tickets were $10 per person which I would think would easily cover any costs associated with using the scoreboard. Can’t we do better?

Sorry to be cliche, but volunteer to make this happen. The entire meet is run by volunteers that are doing a million things to pull off the event at all. This isn’t a for-profit club meet, it’s public school sports. [/quote]
