This is a small patch to fix the Field Display typo bug introduced in v3.3.7. Since 3.3.7 introduced a large number of new features, the release notes for 3.3.7 are copied below:

Release Notes Copied From v3.3.7

This update includes several new features and a large number of bug fixes. Updating is not required but is strongly recommended.

As a reminder, Dual Division events must use version v3.2.4 or later. Remember, Dual-Division events MUST be configured in the Online Scoring System!

Advancement Improvements

• Advancement Display pages showing the advancing teams as the MC reads down the list
  • Same control flow as Award presentation
  • Both Full-screen and lower-third (overlay) version
  • Lists all positions in the advancement list until correct number of teams listed - will NOT skip Already Advanced/Advancing Above/None slots
• Advancement Report will highlight the teams Advancing
• Advancement Report & Display will include Qualifier Host Team if applicable
• Advancement must be configured in the Online Scoring System!
  • This feature is not available for events not configured through the Online Scoring System.
  • Advancement from regional Championships to FIRST Championship is configured by HQ.
  • Can be overridden in the local system, but changes to Advancement will NOT sync with the Online scoring system - Be very careful if you do this and make sure you consult with your PDP before announcing advancement, as they will have to go re-configure the online event if the number has changed.
  • There are additional Advancement Features in the Online Scoring System, including populating event team lists from Advancement data, checking advancement eligibility as part of the Eligibility Report, handling advancement declines to advance the next team, adding out-of-band/manual advancements, and viewing region-level advancement reports.

FTA Notepad

This page adds the ability for FTAs & CSAs to record and track notes & issues throughout the event.

• Located under "FTA/CSA Tools" on the event home page
• Allows tracking of robot/driver station/control system issues
  • Issues are associated with a team and a match. Issues are either "Active" or "Resolved".
  • Issues have a "type" which is selected from a pre-set list of options. There is also a free-form summary & details section. Remember to keep the notes recorded here factual and appropriate, as they will be visible to other FTA/CSAs, Event Admins, and FIRST Staff.
• Tapping on a Team or selecting a Team from the "Teams" dropdown will pull up a list of issues associated with that team
• Tapping on the list icon will show all issues for all teams. This list can group issues by team or by match.
• From either list view, tapping the yellow circle will mark the issue "Resolved". Tapping the green check will mark it "Unresolved".
• This feature currently requires a match schedule to have been generated for it to be functional. If you want to test it out ahead of time, please use a dummy event with a dummy match schedule.
• The FTA Notes form report does not populate this data - that remains blank as it is intended to be printed
• With this feature comes the addition of FTA & CSA permissions and generated accounts. FTA accounts are granted access to this page, as well as all inspection & Lead Inspector pages. CSAs accounts are only granted access to this workflow.

Head Referee Page

This page adds a set of tools to assist the head referee. Disclaimer: The features added for this page are merely tools and are opt-in, Head Referees are responsible for knowing game rules, tournament protocols, Q&A answers, and volunteer forum posts, all of which overrule anything written in or about these features.

• THIS FEATURE SET IS OPT-IN! This feature can alter the match workflow from what is documented in the manuals and training. Both the Scorekeeper & Head Referee must read and understand this feature before it is used.
  1. The Head Referee Page must be enabled by the Scorekeeper through the Match Control Page. The Scorekeeper must read and understand the contents of the dialog that will appear so that they know how this feature will affect their workflow.
  2. After it is enabled, the Head Referee Page must be activated by the Head Referee. On first open, they will receive the same dialog and must confirm they have read & understand it to enable the page.
• Shows a compressed in-match scoring summary & scoring referee status.
  • Referee state, penalties, and shared hub state are shown at the top, all other scoring achievements are collapsed but can be expanded if needed.
    • If in fullscreen mode the scores will be expanded by default.
• HR can hold scores if a discussion is needed
  • Will display a "Match Under Review" banner on the displays to indicate scores may be delayed
  • Remind scoring referees to submit Driver-Controlled prior to any discussions or changes to ensure scores are frozen. They will be highlighted in yellow on the HR page if they have not.
  • Once both referees have submitted final review, then HR can conclude the review session by submitting from the HR page, which releases the scores to the scorekeeper.
• HR can assign cards - will force the "Referee Review" state mentioned in the previous bullet.
• Pre-filled & customizable notes for Referee meeting, Driver's meeting, and Captain's meeting.
• Allows HR to record notes about a match/team.
  • Notes can have multiple teams "tagged" in them
• Provides tracking of Alliance Timeouts and the ability to start 5 minute timers for <C08>.
  • <C08> timers will appear in the corner of the HR page. They will turn red at the 2:00 mark. The scorekeeper can show these timers from the "Field Timeout" dropdown on the control page's "Settings" tab.
  • The Alliance timeout does not start a timer - you still must coordinate with the scorekeeper to start those at the correct time. This feature merely tracks what Alliances have used them.
• Provides a quick way to pull up a scoresheet for a match without leaving the page
